That field is a HTML file input field (`<input type="file" />`). How it renders, beyond _very_ basic styling, is entirely down to your browser, and not something web developers have any control over. Making it possible to type in the file path that you want and have it inserted there is... well, not possible - in theory we could replace it with a custom file field that allows more control, but... that has major downsides like not working _at all_ without JS support, and even if we did that, browser JS doesn't have access to your filesystem so couldn't get the correct file. So - sorry to disappoint, but [status-declined] to this one on the grounds that it's almost impossible. I will, however, add another voice to those asking for keyboard shortcuts in the post editor - that one's definitely possible.
