I want to show breadcrumb path for a file like MAC but with added glamour

Mac has a nifty feature. Say I search for "disc.png" and I get back 10 results all of "disc.png". I can click one of those results and instantly see where it resides without having to copy the path and opening another lister. I can pick the right result I'm seeking quickly. Additionally, I'd like to be able to click a result and in a second window, the file appears in context. i.e. I click the result, a folder opens in a second Opus window with the home folder the file lives in, opens, and the file is highlighted (see image below). THANKS! :man_astronaut:

There should be "Open Containing Folder (in New Tab)" commands in the right-click menu for files in search results, which do that. They can be added to other places, or tweaked to e.g. make them open a new window instead of a new tab, if needed.

Woah! :man_supervillain: That's what I want! Nice. You mentioned "added to other places" and "tweaked". Can you point me to where I can configure that stuff please? Or further reading resources regarding this would be great. Thanks Leo.

You'll find them in the Settings > FileTypes dialog:

Thanks @lxp, your tip got me to Go OPENCONTAINER OPENINDUAL which is what I want. Is there any way I can make that command trigger each time I select a result in my search list? I'd like it to fire off each time I use the up and down arrow in that list of files in the returned search without having to click my key combo (which in this case is CTRL + /).

You can add hotkeys, e.g.:

I recommend using a modifier to avoid conflicts. If you want Opus to react to any selection change you'd need to use Dialog.WatchTab().
