File→Open : `Pathbar` instead of a `Toolbar`, like in Thunar ?

When opening a file from any application, is it possible to display the location as a `Pathbar` instead of a `Toolbar`, like in Thunar ?

There was an issue with Gtk but it was closed with an arogant message.
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/938
There is also this:
https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … f-path-bar

Ctrl-L will activate and highlight the filename entry, but the same happens when you just start to type - and there's a difference if you start typing with / or a letter.
Ctrl-V also seems to work. Copying filenames is possible, but not complete paths.

Hmm, this is exactly how it works on my side, Thunar 1.8.14. What's your version?

As a template try to your preferences; ~/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini

/home/doms/.config/gtk-2.0/gtkfilechooser.ini
[Filechooser Settings]
LocationMode=path-bar
ShowHidden=false
ShowSizeColumn=true
GeometryX=506
GeometryY=292
GeometryWidth=915
GeometryHeight=675
SortColumn=name
SortOrder=ascending
StartupMode=recent

under ./gtk-3.0/ I don't know...
