Description William Jon McCann 2009-08-03 22:33:09 UTC 
I want to send a file that is on my Desktop to my friend.  I click attach in an email program and a file selector comes up.  The file selector defaults to my Documents folder so I click on Desktop in the left side bar.  I know my filename starts with "S" so I type "S" on the keyboard.  I expected it to look for files that start with "S" but instead it tries to search for things starting with "S" in the sidebar.

My take on this is that we should turn off typeahead search in the sidebar and try to get any typing to start typeahead search on the list, unless the location entry is focused

See commit b50548e35015910f62e36b96e74a54382b97cdb2 and the one before it.  In shortcuts_key_press_event_after_cb(), you may want to focus the file list and forward the key press to it if none of the GtkEntries are available.

(If you test that and it feels fine, feel free to commit it.)
