Description thorwil 2004-04-13 12:15:23 UTC
Please include keyboard shortcuts for 'View as Icons' and 'View as List' (and
maybe 'View as ...').
Both view modes have their pros and cons, so I switch fairly often (and asume
others do as well).
Comment 1 Ken Harris 2004-11-12 03:07:16 UTC
Yep.  The Mac Finder uses:
    as Icons      cmd-1
    as List       cmd-2
    as Columns    cmd-3
This makes sense to me.  For Nautilus, we could make Icons = ctrl-1, List =
ctrl-2, and then keep on numbering (ctrl-3, ...) any other views (up to 9, if
anybody has that many).

Plus, I keep pressing ctrl-2 to try to switch to list-view.  I don't know if
there are many other Mac + Gnome people out there, but all else being equal, it
would be nice to use the same shortcuts to make it easier on people.

From bug 309018 [1]:

I overlooked that ctrl-0 is already bound to 100% zoom.

Proposed patch #3 (against HEAD).

From [1]:

"I think you should just ignore index 0 and not have an accelerator for
the extra view."

Comment 7 Christian Neumair 2005-07-07 10:14:15 UTC
Thanks for your efforts, the next Nautilus 2.11 release will ship with these
accelerators.
