Open in Find

I was walking around a large list of files in the Find dialog. At some stage, I selected a large block of files. Then I pressed F3 to view the 'focused' (lastly selected, with a rectangle around it) file. I also could use F4 to edit it, or Space to focus it. This all works very well, and as documented.

However, I also wanted to Open the file, so I pressed Enter. That was a bad idea: Salamander then tried to open all selected files! :o Thanks to PSKILL I could easily close tens of processes at once easily.
Maybe Salamander should warn against opening too many files at once? :idea:

In the help file, I found:
Open (the Enter key): open the focused file or directory,
I think this should read "open the selected files or directories" instead!

Same story here, just a few months back. A predictive dialog warning against opening too many files (More than five?) would be appreciated.

Additionally, I noticed that opening multiple files is not possible in the main window. Should it at all be possible in the Find window?
Maybe there should be a separate key to open all selected files? :idea:
