I think it works on files, so I'd rather keep it in the "File" menu
(note that "Edit" ATM contains primarily commands that act on the
current window, not on the file system ("Preferences..." is the only
exception here in that it brings up a dialog that configures the whole
application (and, depending on the installation, also modified a file
storing said preferences)).
However, why not assign a shortcut? That strikes me as the quickest
solution, especially if you use this command often (and use keyboard
input for "hitting OK", anyway). See the manual for a description how to
assign custom shortcuts.
