[FR] Add command to open folder in Explorer or extend/change the current one

[ArkadiuszMichalski]

Description of the Issue

There is no fast way to open some folder path in Explorer. Check belowe examples:

word1 C:\te|st\name word2
C:\te|st\name word2
word1 C:\te|st\name

Char | indicates the position of the cursor. In Edit > On Selection we have Open Containing Folder in Explorer command, but (as name suggest) it open containing folder for last folder (for above example will be test). This command is nice because we don't need select all path, we just need to put the cursor in the path. Unfortunately, the way to open the last folder is missing.

If new Open folder command is not taken into account, can the current behaviour for Open Containing Folder in Explorer be change, for example:

• if we put last \ in path it open folder before this last \, for example C:\test\name\ will open name folder
• or if there is no file after the last \, let open the last folder, not the folder containing it? So in path C:\test\name the name folder will be open. I believe the containing folder was intended for the file, not for the folder.
