Description robert123m+gnome 2015-12-22 21:10:36 UTC

tap and hold works only in left panel not in the main screen. It does not work with my finger or with an active stylus (synaptic). Also double tap does not work.

Comment 2 simon.schumann 2015-12-28 00:41:58 UTC

Oddly enough double tap works fine in grid view. 

Tap and hold fails for both list and grid view. As far as I can remember it has somethig to do with the right click menu being a context menu and not a popover (it work's in e.g. gedit's open file menu)

Comment 3 robert123m+gnome 2016-06-04 12:28:38 UTC

Still not working in 3.20 in both grid and list view. It works in the left tree pane.

Comment 4 spariant4 2016-12-13 17:29:57 UTC

Is hold-for-context-menu (right click) not implemented at all? An older bug #681629 is still open...
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681629

It has clearly been implemented in the left pane, so it should be added to the folders window too.

Comment 5 António Fernandes 2017-08-27 18:30:50 UTC

Comment 4 is correct. This was implemented in Gtk+ for the sidebar[*] but has yet to be implemented in nautilus views.

It's more likely to be implemented after the new in-development views land, but if someone can provide a patch for what we have now, I'm sure nautilus developers will be grateful.

With regard to double tap not working on list view, that's another bug, tracked as bug 774821.

So, I'm marking as a duplicate of bug 681629, as per comment 4.
