You can do that with 3-2. One of the two chords is expendable... Anyway
this is limited for dir tag windows.

Yes, we already tried that and it was difficult to know what the user
wants. For example with src on /usr or changing to the directory of
inferno. My first choice was to execute and go into directories and it
had a very bad result. I then tried execute everywhere, go into directories
just on windows with dir tag and it was frustrating. If something is
a file you can execute (without path) and a local directory without path
I haven't found an easy way to decide what you want to do. I didn't try
the selected dot strategy though, which may be an alternative, because
I found it a little bit awkward.

I use it almost mainly on directories and almost always I open a dir buffer I
use it at least once. That is quite often.
