I'm a ahk fan. Thou for this take I use Listary v5 Listary .

V5 is better, not as pretty but has more features they pull out of v6 for a new UI.
I've set a universal hotkey for when I end up in a file explorer window. Ctrl + d, open that folder and selected file in dopus from everywhere, it also works in open\save dialogue windows.
And 2nd key, Ctrl + g will grab the active folder from dopus to automatically switch to it when in any open or save window your in.
The 3rd and main key let's you search and jump thru your indexed folder, including custom keyword folders. Have mine set to match my dopus aliases and favs.
You can jump across 9 hdds in seconds with just the keyboard.
