I'm sure you can use the umount command as usual to do this, but it does
involve switching to your terminal session rather than a simple keyboard
operation from within the file browser.

I personally don't use file browsers much - I do all this from the shell
because it's faster and I can operate on many files at once, use the find
command, etc.
