Add Ctrl + L / Cmd + Shift + G shortcut to focus path bar in FileDialog

[Calinou]

This also tweaks EditorFileDialog to use the same shortcut, while making it select the path text after focusing (like in most file managers).

Ctrl + L / Cmd + Shift + G can also now be used to focus on the property name in the project settings editor, as well in the Input Map, Autoload, Shader Globals and Global Groups tabs.

Is this the correct shortcut to use on macOS?

I guess it's the closest thing, there's no path bar in the native file dialog, and Go to shortcut works the same way as in Finder.

Works on Windows.

Don't see why it wouldn't work on macOS based on the code, and comment above.

@Calinou Works on mac, but if the focus is inside of the window it also selects the folder that starts with g:

It is the correct shortcut in Finder, but I'm not sure if a lot of people know it exists. I keep forgetting that shortcut and I've been using macs on and off for over a decade 🙂

I recommend using Cmd+L instead (or at least in addition to Cmd + Shift + G) because that's what all of the web browsers are using, including the native Safari

It's strange this happens, as the code specifically marks the input as handled by calling set_input_as_handled() just after.

I've added Cmd + L on macOS in addition to the existing Cmd + Shift + G there.

Ctrl + L / Cmd + Shift + G can also now be used to focus on the property name in the project settings editor (or the "add input" box in the input action editor).

"Add input box", this?

Yes 🙂 I thought about focusing Filter by event instead, but am not sure how often you'd need to focus on that box in comparison (while quickly focusing on Add New Action can be very useful to add many inputs at once).

[ryevdokimov]

I got everything to work except that, it doesn't seem to focus anything.

[passivestar]

Everything works on my end, including the "Add New Action"

[ryevdokimov]

Ah weird, I rebuilt and it's working on my end too. My bad.

Seems fine. As commented in project settings editor, more tabs could use the shortcut.

Done (see the updated PR description for details).
