Description
it would be useful to be able to jump from a symlink to the directory+file it references.
shortcut could be ctrl-shift-f, and alt-shift-f to follow the link in the opposite panel, i think.
this is semantically somewhat related to ticket #2423. oh, and now i notice i even added a comment which says exactly that a year ago. :D

We already have a command+keybind to open a symlink in the other panel:
PanelOtherCdLink = alt-l
It works with the link to dir only. Would it be enhanced to work with link to files?

hmm, i guess it's ok to "overload" the binding like that - i can just press enter to get to the parent directory of a directory like i would for files. still a bit confusing, though.
i'd also want a shift-alt-l binding for the current panel.

btw: ctrl-shift-f == ctrl-f == ctrl-F for many types of terminals.

Some improvement to PanelOtherCdLink? in patch (src/filemanager/panel.c) - select linked file on other panel (if symlink to file).
Why change panel back and move down?
