When will this be added?
Sry don't want to spam https://github.com/duke7553/files-uwp/issues/9.
I think this feature is quite essential.

@szaimen Thanks for keeping this issue active! I just added it to the list of things to do, I hope we can get this done fairly soon. @jeffsieu is this something you would be interested in working on?

@yaichenbaum Sure! I think it'll be best to work on it on top of the sort and rename commits, as the enter key may interfere with the renaming process. When will the sort and rename branches be merged into master?

Thanks! They will be merged as soon as @duke7553 reviews them.

Multi-selection
Open files in respective applications
Open folders in a new tab each

Maybe shift+enter could open the folders in new windows each?

@szaimen As opposed to a new tab?

Yes 馃憤

@duke7553 would it make sense for this to add this behavior?
