The shortcut setting is probably a bit misleading, because what it does, is to
simply focus the Locator input and set the text to the “prefix” for the locator
filter. You are right that the Files in All Project Directories and Files in
Any Project filters have the same prefix by default - this was for convenience
to have a prefix that shows “all files that are somehow related to all
projects”.
This probably doesn’t fit all possible use cases - as it doesn’t seem to fit
yours ;) . The good thing is that you can just change the prefix for the “Files
in All Project Directories” filter in the settings.
