Description
Hello! I am trying out the Arduino IDE, version 1.8.5, on OS X 10.13.2. It is very nice. I notice something is missing.
On the Macintosh, there is a standard keyboard shortcut where if you hold down the command (Apple) key and click the filename in the titlebar, it brings up a menu (1) showing you what directory the file is in, and (2) allowing you to open the enclosing directory in the Finder. It has been in since classic mac os from the 90s and almost every application supports it. You can find it described here https://support.apple.com/en-ca/HT201236 . Here is an example, Apple's TextEdit:
Arduino IDE does not support this shortcut. This is inconvenient if you save a file and then forget where you saved it. I would like to request support for the shortcut added.

Research direction
No source file, test, or entry point is named in the issue. Start by locating the Arduino IDE's macOS titlebar and window-handling code, then compare its behavior with the linked Apple reference. Done means command-clicking the filename opens the standard directory menu and allows the enclosing directory to open in Finder.
