Description

How to use GitHub
  • Please use the 👍 reaction to show that you are interested into the same feature.
  • Please don't comment if you have no relevant information to add. It's just extra noise for everyone subscribed to this issue.
  • Subscribe to receive notifications on status change and new comments.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While using the comments-function it is not intuitive to reach the Comments view for a file or folder. One has always to open the Details of a file/folder and after that can access the Comments.

Describe the solution you'd like
Implement a Menu entry and/or (even better) make it possible to add a Shortcut to the Comments right beside the Sharing-Shortcut.

Describe alternatives you've considered
The only alternative right now ist to non-intuitively click on sharing (or via the 3-dot-menu) on Details and then go to the Comments.

Or am I missing some settings where one could already configure this? Maybe via config.php with something like 'default button' = sharing / comments / details ... ?

Compare the requested menu entry or shortcut with the current navigation, then confirm that the chosen interaction opens the file or folder's Comments view from the listing.
