Basic Mac shortcuts for open/save/import/export dialogues

Hi There,

If theres no chance of Blender using OS dialogues and/or UI conventions like C4D finally did, would it be possible to implement basic time-saving shortcuts in Blender's file dialogues like open/save/import/export?

  • CMD Up Arrow = Go up a level

  • CMD Down Arrow = Go into a folder/down a level

  • CMD D = Go to Desktop

  • Double click existing file to copy file name into name field

These shortcuts are used 100s of times a day by Mac professionals, so not having them creates constant frustration when trying to integrate Blender into existing workflows - also, mundane file tasks become much slower.

Hope that makes sense. Cheers, Ben
