Cannot type file paths on any Open File Dialogs?
There is no way I can type/paste a file path when I use some Open File dialog:
There is not right click option or anything. I use linux Mint XFCE 19.1:
linux@linux:~$ uname -a
Linux linux 4.15.0-20-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 24 06:16:15 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
I had installed nemo
and set it as the default file manager, then I uninstalled, but the Open File Dialog still does not allow me to type the file path.

Try Ctrl+L - the Gnome “location-popup” signal

If the file dialog is based on the Gnome toolkit (Gtk), then you should be able to toggle the location popup using keyboard shortcut Ctrl+L
