As mentioned, the objective of my proposal is in fact to simplify 
keyboard navigation by using less keys for more functionalities.

That said reading Brian's reply made me realize that contrary to what I 
suggested in my first post, visible "actions folders" are non  necessary 
to achieve the stated goal and all is required is appropriate key 
bindings (particularly showing the context menu when hitting right 
directional key on an expanded folder/file).

Obviously my suggestion requires a tree pane, or at least a vertical 
file list (like rox with extra details). In a normal file list (rox) 
where all 4 directional keys are used to select siblings it is less 
relevant, but key bindings involving modification keys and directional 
keys for collapse/expand/showcontextmenu/multipleselection will still help.
