Feature: Folder aliases / Jump lists

[tnaseem]

What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?

Having the ability to jump to custom folders via the keyboard would be a welcome addition.

In Directory Opus, you hit the '/' key which presents all the user-defined aliases. As you type, this list shows the filtered-down ones, which you can select from.

We would need an options screen where you can create a list of aliases, ie:

Example of hitting '/' and typing the first few characters of the alias to filter down the folders:

Requirements

• A section in settings will be required to enter details of each alias that the user requires.
• Keyboard shortcuts customization (this can be done via the actions page)?

Thanks for the feedback, I've added this to the project board.

I really like this idea

Not exactly the same behavior as Windows Files Explorer but / did its job relatively well.

@yaira2 Should this be apart of the Omnibar?

If implemented, it would be a part of the Omnibar.
