Severity:	High

Description

« Hide

1) It should allow address bar textfield for pasting path
Suppose I want to add a jar file to a project and I have explorer windows open where I can copy path to clibboard. C:\Documents and Settings\userhome\.m2\repository\commons-collections\commons-collections\3.2
I would like to paste the path value in "Select Path" dialog box rather than painfully navigating to the final destination and then select a jar file.
2) Allow customization of favorite folders. At present Ctrl+1 and Ctrl+2 are for user home and project home. I will be desirable for users to add additional folders of their choice.

Suggestion #1 is already planned (~~IDEADEV-14066~~)

Can you elaborate on the suggestion #2? I am not sure I understand.

BTW, it will be really cool to have drag and drop support for jar files and file directories. Jar file is simple. It can prompt for the module(s). The directories can be simply added as source dirs or classpaths similar to what happens when I create a new project/module with existing sources/classes and jars.

Allowing live templates for path completion will be even better than suggestion #2. Example, I have have a live template mr in path completion scope. Now while adding libs, specifying paths etc I type mr and tab. It auto completes to /user/home/.m2/repository.
