Description smaclean 2002-03-16 18:52:49 UTC 
The enter key doesn't perform the default open action like when double
clicking on a file. Note this problem only exists in the list view, the
icon view works as expected.
Comment 1 John Fleck 2002-03-17 15:33:28 UTC 
Confirming.
Comment 2 Luis Villa 2002-04-16 01:43:20 UTC 
<sigh> list view clearly needs a lot of love. :/ smaclean, did the
1.0.x listview do all of these things correctly?
Comment 3 smaclean 2002-04-16 04:00:53 UTC 
Yes, Nautilus 1.0.x had this feature and the others I reported (like
drag and drop) ;)

It would seem the list-view does need some love.

Patch to activate selected files when Return is pressed
Comment 5 Alexander Larsson 2002-05-17 19:02:38 UTC 
Shouldn't it return TRUE if it handled the keypress?
Comment 6 Damon Chaplin 2002-05-17 19:13:29 UTC 
Yes, probably.

OK to commit with that change?
Comment 7 Damon Chaplin 2002-05-17 19:34:23 UTC 
patch applied, but returns TRUE if it handles the keypress.
