Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

It would be highly beneficial to add quick-open shortcuts to the @ mention popup menu for files and directories.

Specifically, the functionality should include:

  • Pressing a shortcut to quickly open a file we are hovering over in the @ mention view in our external editor.
  • Pressing a shortcut to quickly open a directory we are hovering over (or a file's containing directory) in the OS file manager.
  • Proposed Keybinds: Ctrl+X (file), Alt+O (directory)

Discoverability:
To ensure users are aware of these shortcuts, a footer or small tip indicating this functionality should be added at the bottom of the mention popup.

    This issue doesn't fully meet our contributing guidelines.

    What needs to be fixed:

    • The title should start with [FEATURE]: (e.g. [FEATURE]: mention popup quick-open shortcuts for files and directories)
    • The feature request template was not used — please use the Feature Request template, which requires a verification checkbox and a structured description explaining the problem or need
    • No system information or context was provided

    Please edit this issue to address the above within 2 hours, or it will be automatically closed.

    For keybind/shortcut-related issues, please also check our pinned keybinds documentation: #4997

    If you believe this was flagged incorrectly, please let a maintainer know.
