Same thing in GNOME files if you press ctrl+l. Just like you would to get to Firefox's URL.

Uh.. I get to Firefox's URL by clicking on the address field.

Ctrl+L works on Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Windows Explorer FYI

I just mean it's a seemingly ubiquitous hotkey so you may find it useful to memorize it

Right, and I mean there's no way to discover that hotkey if you don't already know it, which is why requiring it for a common UI function is bad design.

True of any hotkey.

So how do you get the path field in the Gnome file dialog without ctrl-L?
Pretty sure it's a setting in gnome-tweaks. If it's not, it's not any harder than MacOS at least.
