Is it possible, when using the xy style of filtering (e.g. in flat mode) to select an item & have the folder opened, where that file actually is in?
Some sort of "go to that file in the proper folder" function?
Also, there is no way of using context menus in a filtered list, only some basic standard functions.

Yes, the command is Go OPENCONTAINER
Do you mean that some 3rd party context menu items don't appear? As I remember, that will happen if you have files from more than one location selected. It's a limitation of the way some types of context menu handlers work in Windows. You should see the same thing if you use Explorer's search tool to generate a list of files in multiple folders, then right-click them.
The context menu items do work, so long as you don't select files from more than one place. So even in flat-view, if you select several files within the same folder then it'll still work. If you then select one more file from another folder then you'll get a cut-down context menu.
Many context menu handlers will always work, even with files in multiple folders, too.
Ah, that works very nicely, i changed it to
GO OPENCONTAINER NEWTAB TOFRONT
For the other thing, i made a mistake. While the CLI is still showing the wildcard, (in this case *mag), only during that time the context menu is different (only cut, copy & paste are available, like in the second screenshot), but after pushing Enter (which i did not, when i tried it, but tried to use "open with" directly) the normal menus will come up. So this is solved, too.
Here are two screenshots showing this:
You must be showing the context menu by pushing the context menu key (the one to the right of the spacebar on most keyboards).
It's showing you the context menu for the edit control you have active, not for the file display (which is not active).

Yep, exactly, it´s the context button, which is quite handy for quick menu access. & that explains it, since you only can work with text in that mode. Anyway, Enter does the trick, plus the new Opencontainer hotkey, thank you!
