<p>This is controlled by GTK+. I believe in GTK+2 it has a location box by default except for in the "Recent" section. For GTK+3, as with most things, it's less user-friendly. In both, you can press <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>l</kbd> to get it to show the location box.</p>
<p>For more info, Google found this: <a href="https://winaero.com/blog/how-to-enter-file-location-manually-in-gtk-3-opensave-dialog/" rel="nofollow">https://winaero.com/blog/how-to-enter-file-location-manually-in-gtk-3-opensave-dialog/</a></p>
<p>Closing since it's not a Geany issue and must be fixed in GTK+.</p>
