Paste and go

[JLoftus]

Hi Don, would you consider adding "Paste and go" to the context menu within the address bar? This is common in browsers today. If you copy a path, and paste it into the address bar, you then have to press enter to perform the navigation. Adding "Paste and go" would perform the operation in one step.

Already exists in the breadcrumb context menu.

I see that, but it's not nearly as obvious or intuitive as Paste and go in the address bar would be. Would be a nice consistency addition.

Not sure what you mean by "context menu within the address bar". I can only modify the context menu of the icon, not the one of the text.

Oh, well then that sounds like a limitation you can't get around. The address bar is a dropdown combobox, which has an editable text field as the main portion. This editable text field has a context menu, which, when there are contents on the clipboard, offers "Paste", but not "Paste and go" as is now present in the address bars of Edge, Firefox, and Chrome.

As you see, I just added it to the icon's context menu, and I like it.

Thanks Don! Merry Christmas

I like this too! This is great, really useful. I've been using XY for many years now and I continue to find things I didn't know about, such as the rich set of features within the address bar icon menu, and that the menu is even different yet when right clicking the dropdown arrow to the left of the icon, that's really great!
