Daniel, thanks for your continued work on this. I tried your branch and this seems like a step forward: most of the issues I mentioned above are fixed. I'm still seeing this issue from before, though:
- Select the first file in a directory, press the down arrow once, then type the first character of a filename. Notice that a secondary selection rectangle remains around the previously selected file. If you press Escape to exit the search, the secondary selection remains, and if you then press the down arrow Nautilus navigates to the file following it. Instead, as soon as the search begins the secondary selection should vanish, just like in Nautilus 3.4. Actually it seems a bit better than last time around: the first time I type a filename in a given directory view, usually I don't see the secondary selection and the arrow keys behave as expected. But if you repeat the steps above over and over in the same directory view, you'll see that the secondary selection often appears, and arrow keys after Escape often navigate up or down from the secondary selection position, not from the filename you just navigated to. Do you see this too? Is this fixable? -- 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?
