Eduardo <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #20 from Eduardo <[email protected]> --- I too was suffering with the default "Dropdown List & Automatic" text completion behaviour. Changing it to "Dropdown list" with right-click on the address bar fixed all my problems. I'm a much happier person now! As a user I think the "Dropdown List & Automatic" being the default Text Completion method is not a good decision. If we type "/etc/" and quickly press ENTER, we expect it to go to the "/etc/" folder, not "/etc/acpi/" as is what happens with current default behviour. Alro, regarding the TAB usage: when using bash on a terminal, typing "cd /et", pressing TAB once, and pressing ENTER, it takes us to "/etc/" folder. With current Dolphin default behaviour, typing "/et" + TAB + ENTER would lead us unintuitivelly to "/etc/acpi/". Even the file picker KDialog present in many KDE Addps adopt the "Dropdown list" as the default, so Dolphin is also inconsistent with the rest of KDE environment by default. I think Dolphin should have a consistent behaviour to the terminal and other file managers by default. New users will feel way more welcomed to adopt it if the default behavior is what they are already expecting. And this desired and expected behaviour is already implemented, it is the "Dropdown List" text completion option. So here's my plea to change Dolphin's default text completion to "Dropdown List" in upcoming versions. Also, the option to change the behaviour is a little bit "hidden", I only found it after reading the comments in this bug report. I understand it is Dolphin's philosophy to not be so configurable, but since this IS configurable already, I think it deserves an entry under the "Configure Dolphin" screen, that's where users will go to look for available customizations. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
