[PATCH] add common shortcuts for file operations
Last modified: 2018-05-02 19:21:45 UTC
In the context of being more consistent with Nautilus and file management in general, let's add to GtkFileChooser the same shortcuts used by Nautilus for the same operations already present in GtkFileChooser, which are: "New folder" -> Ctrl + Shift + N "Rename" -> F2 "Delete" -> Shift + Delete Patch will follow.
Created attachment 362011 [details] [review] gtkfilechooserwidget: add common shortcuts for file operations Add the same shortcuts used by Nautilus for the same operations, which are: "New folder" -> Ctrl + Shift + N "Rename" -> F2 "Delete" -> Shift + Delete As a nice feature for advanced users, this shortcuts will also work for the ACTION_OPEN and ACTION_SELECT_FOLDER modes, which hide the UI elements for said operations, but will now be possible if invoked through its shortcut/keybinding. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789285 -------------------------- If the feature of "shortcuts being functional for _OPEN and _SELECT_FOLDER modes" is not liked for inclusion, let me know and I'll re-do patch introducing those checks.

Not a good idea to add easter eggs like that, imo. If the ui elements aren't there, the shortcuts shouldn't be either
(In reply to Nelson Benitez from comment #0) > In the context of being more consistent with Nautilus and file management in > general, ...please, let's just make GTK+ delegate to Nautilus or whatever other file manager the desktop is using. Otherwise, bugs like this mean we're just chasing constantly moving targets of parity with Nautilus or other file managers, while that also distracts from all the actual bugs in the FileChooser. I don't think we can have both a GtkFileChooser that works and a GtkFileChooser that acts enough like Nautilus for everyone - or worse, like every other file manager they like.
