Create a functional file open dialog

[jakesays]

The file open dialog does not support pasting a path. I realize this is default gtk3 behavior, but it is counter to any other file open dialog I’ve ever used. It is also very annoying.

File Open -> no field to paste the path

This is normal (but if the internet has anything to say about it, for many highly annoying) behaviour for GTK 3 file dialog boxes. You can press Ctrl+L to swap the browse bar for a text input (this is a GTK thing and not a Sublime thing). Depending on the distribution you’re using, there may be a setting that you can tweak somewhere to get the old GTK 2 behaviour back as well.

There’s a bug that’s already been fixed with pasting a path: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/3220
