Btw. regarding our discussion of spatial vs open in same window. Would
it make sense to have an option to
open a new window and close the current for paths below a certain depth
and open in same window for deeper nested folders? So we could combine
the spatial mode for shallow paths with the hybrid mode that is indeed
better suited for deep structures. The length of the path could be
decided like in the pathbar. So you get e.g. 4 levels below / and four
levels below your home dir in spatial mode.
The problem with that is its inconsistent for new users (and probably
all users who dont know about that feature). We shouldn't dynamically
change mouse actions/behaviour based on folder depth - it should be up
to the user by using left or middle clicks to determine how to navigate
in any given situation.
