ctrl-L ;)

Seriously, the bindings familiar from the nautilus work well.

* Alt-up/down for traversing the pathbar (and more when going "up"),
I'd like for backspace to work here too, but it doesn't currently.

* tab for moving focus

* arrow keys for selecting a file (and space or enter to activate)

* type-ahead search in both of the views

* Esc to cancel the dialog

If not visible, I don't think there is a way (other than the ctrl-L).

> * How to show hidden files & folders

I expected the ctrl-H from nautilus to work, but seems that it
doesn't. This is a bug (and I'll file it if not present already).

With mouse, from the context menu.

That's a great additude! Keep it up ;)
