How do open a file or folder in Windows 10 pasting the direct path?

Answered

All the other Jetbrains IDEs (webstorm, pycharm, Rider) seem to have a native jetbrains interface for File > Open, which allows me to type in the exact path I want to open.

For some reason IntelliJ IDEA opens up that horrid looking "Open File or Project" menu that remind me of Windows 7, with no ability to paste in the directory. I have to manually step to it which is far too cumbersome.

Is there any way around this? And why does IntelliJ break the File -> Open window compared to all other Jetbrains IDEs?

Check the "ide.win.file.chooser.native" registry option. It should be disabled: https://i.imgur.com/h7pAPaw.png

VM option with the same name could also override the value: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/idea/tuning-the-ide.html#configure-jvm-options
