Windows File Explorer folder global keyboard shortcuts

[acseven]

Summary of the new feature/enhancement

System wide Explorer keyboard shortcuts for User folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, ...).
This would allow to make the current Explorer window go to that Folder instantly, instead, of clicking/tabbing etc.
This behavior is available on macOS Finder for some folders (CMD+Shift+D for Desktop).

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

When a File Explorer window or File Explorer dialog (Open/Save/etc) is open, pressing one of these shortcuts will directly switch to the default User folder:

• Desktop: Win+Shift+D
• Downloads: Win+Shift+T
• Documents: Win+Shift+F
  (etc.)

Yes, the main QAP triggers (middle mouse button or Windows+W) can change folders in all software that use the standard Windows file dialog boxes (Open, Save As, etc.). Most software do.

Huh, nice. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. A launcher is a bit of overkill I think, the feature is apparently there, for the most part.

Take a look at WinHotKey for inspiration

In the mean time, as a workaround, you can give a .lnk shortcut (file) a keyboard shortcut in the Properties. When pressing a single letter, Windows places "Ctrl+Alt" in front of it bij default.
The Start menu is a good place to find common shortcut files. One downside (of this location) I noticed so far is that when a program updates, often these shortcut files get re-created, which mean you have to set this again. But hey, it works.

Wow, I never noticed you could do that before! Thanks a million!
