    Description

      It would be nice if some missing pieces of the advanced keyboard navigation in File dialogs on Mac were implemented.

      For example:
      1. Open TextEdit.app
      2. ⌘O
      3. At this point there's a ⇧⌘G command that opens 'Go to the
      folder' sheet. There are two alternatives though: '/' and '~', they
      open that sheet and set the whole path to that symbol.
      4. Next you're ought to enter file/dir names. And there is ⌥⎋
      hotkey that completes the current file/dir name.

      With Qt's TextEdit demo:

      • ⌘O and ⇧⌘G works OK.
      • 'Go to folder' opens as a separate dialog, not as a sheet.
      • ⌥⎋ completion just closes the dialog.
