In spitial mode don't you feel that it's annoying to open each folder in a
new window?
If we could make that optional, I mean to be able to use spitial mode with a
new option which enables you to open folders in the same window. And make
the default mode is to open folders in the same window.

It would be great if we can modify the spatial mode, can we (since im not a
