Yes something more like rox, just to fast and easy finding and
navigation throuh keybinding. I've used rox for a while and this
feauture is good, but Location Bar IMO is not the best way to display
current path, Path Bar would be much better (drag and drop copy/move and
stuff). I think it's much better to set PathBar as default and Location
Bar could be made rox-way (or sth like that), visible only when I really
want ot find/navigate. Ohh, and ofcoure Location Bar should be at the bottom.
