I also want to remove the delay. For example, without affecting the "double click = HotDirList" situation, there can be no delay around the "*.*" after the directory name when single-clicking.

However, as TC11.00 has reached b9 and is approaching the RC version, adding new features might be challenging.
Please consider adding the Alt+D shortcut to the keyboard layout for cm_EditPath
In Chrome or Edge browsers, the shortcut Alt+D is used to edit the address bar, similar to TC's cm_EditPath.
It should be easy for users accustomed to using keyboards, and it won't affect the progress of TC's development.

Sorry but thats a bad Idea as Alt+Char are used by the Main Menu.

How-to add keyboard shortcut Hotkey to an em_ or cm_ command
--------------------------------------------------------

* Open "Configuration > Options > Misc."
* by "()Hotkey" choose a free key combo as keyboard shortcut >>> here Alt+D

* For Command: click on the magnifying glass
* Choose the wanted command by double clicking on it. >>> here cm_EditPath
(To filter type em_ or cm_ and maybe more letters or just an keyword like 'copy')

* Apply with the green check mark button!!!
* Close the options dialog with [OK]
* Click on OK

Now you can press <Alt+D> together for to select/focus the path box above of the file list.


You can still use Alt+D to open an menu from the main menu (e.g. "Dateien"),
as the shortcut for that is <Alt-key> ; <D-key> (instead of <Alt+D> together)




 

I indeed overlooked the menu options other than English. I apologize for that.
In WCMD_DEU.MNU and WCMD_SVN.MNU, the first menu shortcut is D.
If want TC to be perfect, the suggestion of Alt+D is not feasible.

I can only hope for future updates that may include an option to change the "Current directory field" to Windows Explorer/Chrome style, if desired.
In other words, clicking without delay directly edits the path (without the double-click hotlist feature), since there is already a hotlist button on the right that can be pressed. There is also the shortcut Ctrl+D.
Of course, users can also choose to keep things unchanged based on their preferences and habits.

autorun.cfg: But then there will be a problem with the clickable path parts ('breadcrumb bar') if they are enabled.
