Ctrl+L does not work when file chooser is in "Recently used" mode
Last modified: 2013-05-26 09:08:33 UTC
Using Fedora 16 (gtk3 3.2.4-1), but reproduced using Gtk from jhbuild Context: I was repeatedly trying to upload the same file using Epiphany, because it kept failing (unrelated bug). Each time the file chooser popup opened I was returned to the "Recently used" files, where the file was not listed, and had to laboriously navigate through the filesystem to locate it again. I worked around this by copying the path to the clipboard, so I could just paste it into the location bar and press enter, but because ctrl+L doesn't work in "Recently used" mode I was still slowed down by having to click on a regular location in the sidebar first. There are various usability discussion that could come out of this, but a simple fix would be make the Ctrl+L shortcut work in recently used mode as well, so keyboard users can easily jump to a file after opening the dialog without first having to click on an on-disk location in the sidebar.
