It would be nice to be able to Right Click on a file tab and choose "Open in File Manager" from the menu to open a the containing folder of that file in the default file manager. (maybe using xdg-open which seems to be the way to open the default file manager in Linux).

I might be interested in programing such a feature myself, but I don't know what the process is for making contributions to Xed.

Agreed. Also a "copy path to clipboard" feature, please. Notepad++ has them.

Edit: turns out I already requested this: #675.
