Description Étienne Bersac 2005-04-05 15:13:27 UTC 
Hello,

Nautilus allow to quickly access to a directory bye type Ctrl+L on the desktop.
This is quite useful.

I suggest to extend this possibily. As nautilus make the completion for
directory and files, this is quite easy to open the URL specified with gnome-open.

Then user can just open the file they want an they says juste by typing the
right path.

As you wish.
Thanks.

Hey, My bug is an enhancement !

I just suggest Ctrl+L to behave like gnome-open and not just for nautilus !
Ctrl+L work perfectly (gnome 2.10.1 hoary). Another possibility is to assigne
another binding on Ctrl+L which open a similar dialog but open the document with
the appropriate program according with the MIME/Type database.

So, i Reopen the bug.

Comment 5 Christian Neumair 2005-05-14 11:45:43 UTC 
The problem is obviously that gnome-open will do the wrong for URI schemes like
"sftp://" or "ftp://". We'd have to special-case directories to open with
Nautilus and if that fails use gnome-open or something.
Comment 6 Sebastien Bacher 2005-05-14 12:58:56 UTC 
what is wrong with gnome-open ftp://... ?
Comment 7 Christian Neumair 2005-05-14 14:27:31 UTC 
non-file URIs currently work with an all-or-nothing scheme. If an URI scheme
handler is registered in gconf (/desktop/gnome/url-handlers/scheme), the command
specified in gconf is launched. PS documents are handled the same way
directories are on an sftp, no MIME type lookup takes place.

Comment 9 André Klapper 2008-11-15 18:51:56 UTC 
gnome-open has been replaced by gvfs-open.
If this is still an appropriate request, please update the summary and version info.
Comment 10 William Jon McCann 2012-09-19 21:57:42 UTC 
I don't think we want nautilus to be popping up dialogs from the desktop. The OS shell is in charge of that sort of thing.
