I'm interested in getting this resolved, and I might even be willing to learn the innards of Nautilus just to fix this, but it's unclear what the impact would be even if I did. It seems that upstream made an immovable "design" decision to blaze ahead with the type-to-search misfeature and that nothing users say/do will change that.
So, are you proposing that Ubuntu will maintain a fork (or a forked patch or two) for Nautilus? Is that a reasonable goal? If we develop a simple enough fix, is it likely Ubuntu will carry it separate from upstream GNOME/Nautilus? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to nautilus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find Status in Nautilus: Invalid Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without controversy: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus- list/2012-August/msg00002.html Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories. I personally find this annoying. If I want to search, I'll click the search icon. Often I'm looking at a long directory listing and simply want to jump to a certain point in it, and type-ahead find works great for that. Would Ubuntu consider patching type-ahead find back in?
