Nautilus keybinds not work in sidebar notes panel
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
Test env: rh6.2, rh7.0 Test build: 1.0 RPM candidate (3/7 20:47:42) To reproduce: 1. click "notes" tab on sidebar 2. click on notes to get insertion point 3. Press Clt-A Result: Nothing happens. Expect: Select all in main panel. Remarks: lots of shortkeys won't response. But shortcut keys like Clt-R/B/=/- will response. ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2001-03-09 14:20:41 ---- The Notes widget is using many keystrokes for text operations and insertion-point-moving operations. Control-A for example means "move insertion point to start". Control-H deletes a character. This is the same problem we used to have with the location bar. We fixed it in the location bar by making NautilusEntry override GtkEntry to not use all those keyboard equivalents. Now we have people angry with us for not letting them use their favorite emacs shortcuts in the location bar (see bug 46495). ------- Additional Comments From sullivan@eazel.com 2001-03-09 14:22:23 ---- I've heard this will be addressed in GTK 2.0 by having the menu key bindings override the widget-specific ones. But in the meantime, or if that doesn't end up happening, we need to figure out what we want to do here and in NautilusEntry fields -- we should address this bug and bug 46495 in the same way. ------- Additional Comments From tim@eazel.com 2001-03-09 14:29:58 ---- oops, my fault, yes, Ctl-A/E/B/F act like emacs keybindings. Change the summary to "Nautilus keybinds not work in sidebar notes panel". ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2001-03-26 11:07:28 ---- QA Assigning to self. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 21:13 ------- Bug blocks bug(s) 47626.

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
This is fixed in 2.1.2. CTRL-A selects all files in the window.
