Paste path in "Browse for Files or Folders"

When moving or copying a file to another folder in Bridge, I always have to browse through a tedious number of folders to get to the right one.

I really could do with an option to paste in a path. This seems like something which is really basic.

Am I missing something?

Paste a path into Bridge... why not possible???

Window menu > Path Bar.

Click in the blank area to the right of the icons in the Path Bar, now you can paste in a valid path into the revealed text area. Here is a GIF animation:

P.S. Also make use of the “Favorites” tab to store shortcuts to your commonly used folders.

Thank you  - I know about that text area but it's the right click on a file > move file (or copy) which is where I want to paste a path.
