Related slightly to above, of the file list pane, some editors will open a new tab or load file into file view pane (if tabless) on single click or if cursor focus is in file pane, as one uses arrow keys. Haven't thought much about how problematic such an option/mode may be, yet in an EPUB/project with many files, finding the right one sometimes is effort. Arrowing thru files and seeing what they are immediately helps for many things.

One thing maybe related to Qt6, deleting files like fonts, when I scroll to the bottom and multiple select, after right-click to delete, I'm somewhat frequently unable to select the menu since file pane scroll position resets, it scrolls up. Single click detected over right/contextual. Forgot if it happened much before. Maybe it's Monterey, Qt 6, other, unsure.

A feature that may help elsewhere, possible to cmd/ctrl-delete selected files? Maybe some new menu or submenu somewhere for when focus is in file pane, any file action available thru context menu, shows in the main menu and becomes enabled and usable? Perhaps someday it may help other features become discoverable, as perhaps such are somewhat major operations and having such in the main menu, I tend to like that.
