Description
### What feature or improvement do you think would benefit Files?
I’d like to suggest a feature: a folder history system similar to a web browser.
Currently, reopening closed tabs is limited (for example, Ctrl+Shift+T only restores recently closed tabs). It would be very useful to have a full history of previously opened folders, allowing users to quickly return to locations they accessed days ago.
This would solve the problem of having to manually navigate through multiple folders again just to reach a previously used location. With a history feature, users could reopen those folders in just a few clicks, improving efficiency and usability.
This would make File Explorer much more convenient, especially for users who frequently work across many directories.
### Requirements
A dedicated “History” view or panel openable with example Ctrl + H
A searchable list of previously opened folders
The ability to reopen folders as new tabs
