DM: This is what I normally do, although with a keystroke to open the
context menu followed by 'E', etc. The 'Ctrl + '.'' doesn't work on my
system (Sparky 7, based on Debian 12, with Xfce DE), so I'm guessing
it's not 'purely' GTK-related? Maybe depends on desktop environment?
(Actually, scratch that last sentence, it doesn't work on one of my
systems with that setup, but does work on this one; I have no idea what
is causing the difference. 🤷‍♂️️🙂️ Cheers, ---Dustin
