I frequently copy a file path from a chat program, open the run dialog with Win+r, and paste the path to open the file.
I'm wondering if I can simplify this:
- To two steps (open the path on the clipboard)
- Or one step? (treat highlighted text as a path and open in explorer)
The solution should be possible to invoke with a keyboard shortcut while another program has focus (e.g. the chat program where the path is listed)
Is this possible using a batch or powershell script, or would it need to be a small program running in the background?
