Anyway: Good luck with whatever file manager you've chosen instead
what button is that? you sugested some scripting , i have no idea how to implement that script. This feature should be out of the box, that's my point

Custom toolbar buttons are explained in the help file.

And btw, it even works to have a path in the clipboard and right clicking
on white space in the file pane and choose -> Paste: XY navigates to it...
One of my scripts helped you out? Please donate via Paypal

finally, I made it to add the button with the script (second option worked too but is slower)

Clearly explained, thanks a lot

But I agree with CarlosTorch - it's a matter of another element in the right click menu in Address bar to habe Paste & Go. And it's logical to have it there. I'm used to use this in browsers a lot. I don't like the button approach, it involves pinpointing a small toolbar button first, otherwise I can use any part of the AB to right click and use the option.

I normally just use it from the breadcrumb context menu, I find it fairly convenient.

I agree it would be nice to have that, but I cannot modify this system menu. I could only add it to the context menu of the address bar icon. But there nobody would expect it. So, listen to jupe: use it from the breadcrumb context menu.

Here is another tip: when focus is in the folder tree or in the file list you can just Ctrl+V a path from the clipboard and it will go there.
