nautilus location requester behaves different than file requester
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
The for me most important nautilus shortcut ctrl+l does not work consistently ( the run application dialog has the same problem ): 1. First of all it does not work on the desktop (short cuts that only work by means of metacity like alt+f2 don't count...). 2. When it works, it behaves differently than the file requester: File requester: To reproduce open say eog and select open from the menu. Type say / it will display a pulldown list with all dirs in /. From them one could select one by pressing cursor up/down... Type say /h it will display a pulldown list with some entries like /home and if there is only a single entry also fill in /home/ in the Location input field. If you then type say doesnotexist and press tab the cursor+focus stays in the Location input field. Nautilus: To reproduce open a nautilus window and press ctrl+l (it won't work on the desktop!!) Type say / it won't display anything. Pressing tab will focus the cancel button (same for cursor up/down). Type say /h it will complete to /home if there is only a single entry in / starting with h. Then tab will keep focus in the Location field which then displays /home/ and jump behind /home/ pressing tab again will again focus the cancel field. If one types doesnotexist and press tab the focus will go to the cancel button. It would be really nice to see it working exactly as in the file requester.
