I have a remote RHEL machine which I use via X11. On that machine when I open a new file in, say, VS Code or in the Firefox browser (both apps are on teh remote machine), then I get teh following File Selection Dialog: File Selection Dialog In this Dialog I get only to teh desired loaction by mutiple clicks on teh various path elements. However very often I have a path string like /opt/servers/tomcat/apache-tomcat-8.5.78/conf/server.xml in the clipboard which I just could paste to get to the desired location. Are File Selection Dialogs available which can use a full path string and how do I hook them up to the RHEL system? ### Some more details: | Info | Value | | --- | --- | | **Remote OS:** | Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.3 | | **Local X11 "server":** | MobaXterm on Windows |
