Dual Pane - open folder in inactive pane (from active pane)

From the docs: To browse a folder in the inactive pane use Alt+Click in the Tree
How about the same functionality when Alt+Clicking a folder in the active pane?
Thanks!

Hmm, I see that Alt-MiddleButtonClick opens the folder in a new tab on the inactive pane.
But I still like extending the "Alt+Click in tree" metaphor to the active pane.

I did not do this because Alt+DblClick is already used in the list: Show Properties! (= Windows standard)

But why would that preclude an action for Alt+Click? I don't think it would be too confusing to have Alt+Click perform an action as well as Alt+DblClick. No?

Click on folder in Tree = DblClick on folder in List
It would be very unconventional to have a mere single Click in List trigger a browse action.

Ah, I understand. Thanks!
