filechooserwidget: Make Ctrl+L in recent mode work (1.58 KB, patch)
2015-01-18 11:31 UTC, Timm Bäder 		none Details | Review

Description Sebastien Bacher 2011-09-29 11:59:11 UTC 
Using GNOME 3.2, open a file selector in browser mode (i.e use "open" in gedit), the recently used view is selected by default, press ctrl-L

what happens:
- nothing

what should happen:
- it should display the location entry
Comment 1 Matthias Clasen 2011-09-30 02:23:53 UTC 
Why do you expect that ? the recently-used mode doesn't have an entry...
Comment 2 Sebastien Bacher 2011-09-30 09:03:10 UTC 
it does when you press / or ~ so why not ctrl-L as well? it would seem consistant to support all of the usual keybindings...
Comment 3 Federico Mena Quintero 2011-09-30 18:01:30 UTC 
This is a duplicate; let me find the original bug...

Yes, the entry should appear if you Ctrl-L during recently-used mode.  It's a problem with old code in location_toggle_popup_handler().

filechooserwidget: Make Ctrl+L in recent mode work
Comment 7 Timm Bäder 2015-01-18 12:08:27 UTC 
Heh, that patch doesn't actually work. It'll show the entry on Ctrl+L in recent mode, but you can't activate it because (as far as I understand it), pressing return in that entry just activates the default widget (e.g. the open button) which is (at least in a GtkFileChooserDialog) insensitive because nothing is selected.

How would that be fixed best? Just change to ~ on Ctrl+L?

That is what I would expect, yes.
Comment 9 Matthias Clasen 2015-01-19 00:02:31 UTC 
should work better now
