Description
Introduce a on-the-fly directory navigation in Nautilus context menu. This approach has been used in BeOS and is fantastic way of fast directory access even if one is buried deep in filesystem.
Here are screenshots from BeOS that illustrate the idea:

Please note that accessing directories the BeOS way eliminates the endless Spatial vs Single Window navigation problem.
Also KDE guys managed to incorporate this idea in a crippled way (only for Copy/Move operations, not for navigation).

Right-click navigation is super fast. It is often as fast as command line with tab-completion. If you try it, you'll love it!

Thanks. It's almost as good as the original in BeOS.

I miss BeOS so much. GNOME and Tracker could learn a lot from the BFS and OpenTracker. Particularly the BeOS methods of handling application signatures and file types.

this idea should land upstream as it is about gnome!
