I'm using JOE on windows, where there are often directories with long names containing spaces. This can be kind of a pain for text completion and so forth when navigating the folder structure to change working directories or open / save files in JOE.
I tried the -menu_explorer option, and it's quite nice, but I found myself unable to select a directory with this option enabled. The main use case for selecting a directory is the cd command. What I ended up doing was selecting a file in the target directory, then backspacing the file from the path string after jumping back to the prompt. Unfortunately, that does not work for empty directories.
Is there a key sequence that would let me select a directory with the -menu_explorer option enabled? I tried various guesses, but none of them worked.
