GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 41993
No way to customize colors or backgrounds with keyboard
Last modified: 2010-08-02 11:27:09 UTC
You must use the mouse, since it only works through drag and drop. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-08-07 09:21:27 ---- I'm asking Arlo to look over all these and make a proposal for each about how to make the given operation keyboardable and also to propose a cut for which ones are required for 1.0. Some of these would be trivial to implement and thus could be part of the "usable" milestone, but after looking at them I'm not sure that all would be. John points out that some of these are perhaps just bugs, since you are supposed to be able to use Tab to move the keyboard focus and Spacebar to activate controls in the toolbar for example. ------- Additional Comments From arlo@workthatmouse.com 2000-08-07 11:32:54 ---- I don't think there's a need to do this with the keyboard... but will look into this a bit more later today. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2000-10-16 19:58:34 ---- Batch-assigning QA ownership of remaining bugs to eli@eazel.com ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:38 -------
I think this is still relevant. Louie et al, what is you opinion on this since technically nautilus should be completely keynavable, but this feature at least seems to be used very rarely.
Dave has a patch for this; I'm not sure what the status is, though.
dave: ping?

Adding keywords. These patches are in sun_patches, I believe?
Yes, this is in sun-patches. Now all we need is a similar mechanism for applying emblems :)
Created attachment 11137 [details] [review] the sun-patch
Alex (rightfully) didn't like the UI that this patch presents. It can be a bit weird, since there are now two dialogs that are very similar but act differently.
As far as I can see, the sun-patch doesn't allow you to add/remove emblems using the keyboard... at least, not the twice I've tested it (Sun build 5 and build 10). Or am I missing something...?
Woops, I take that back, the Emblems tab in the file Properties dialog is indeed keynavigable with the latest sun-patch.
Can we close this then?
no it is still a bug in the community release. Perhaps background stuff can be integrated into a folders property window.

Comment on attachment 11137 [details] [review] the sun-patch Marking this needswork/obsolete since it has been rejected.
Anyone still looking at this? It's one of the few parts of our core desktop that remains completely inaccessible from the keyboard.

Alex, Dave: Do you think the background color & pattern selector could be integrated into the property dialog? Then, we could use a radio button to denote the currently used background.
Fixing priority; this should not have been enhancement all this time.

Changing component as part of ongoing bug reorganisation.
'Backgrounds and Emblems' have now been removed from nautilus master, see [1]. Closing this as OBSOLETE. [1] http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2010-July/msg00023.html
