Sometimes I wish to act on the folder currently opened in the tab I'm in, without having to go up one level to select that folder in the list. Let's take, for instance, the command Toggle Favorite Folder which adds the current folder (when no item is selected in the list) to the Favorite Folders. The thing is, there is often an item selected in the list, which makes most commands act on the selected item, not on the parent folder. So I'm looking for a way to clear the selection.
Using the mouse, it's easy: click on an empty space in the list to unselect any item.
Using the keyboard only, there's no such command to my knowledge. Thus, would it be possible to add this? Ideally, I think the ESC key makes sense (I hope it would not interfere with Miscellaneous | General Functions | Stop?).

Re: Keyboard shortcut (ESC?) to clear selection
F***, I searched "clear", "selection", "unselect". Should have searched "select" only.
Thanks.
Thanks.
