The old trick backspace button to move up is more intelligent than the
alt+arrow. But the Ubuntu dev's are more idiots than other developers
Gnu/Linux. Do disapear the old good things is not a sign of
intelligence. I have doing removing all Ubuntu os at my job for this
disgraceful thing.  Ubuntu is not for normal computer, is for smartphone
only or needless gadget!

Try elementaryOS for a pure experience on a real pc, and Ubuntu won't
bring back idiot things in you life!

[Bug 1108637] Re: backspace key no longer works in nautilus

2013-11-27 Thread Volodya
Microsoft has attempted to do the same thing in the trial run of
Nashville (it was the OS that was later turnt into Windows 98), they
have removed up from the Explorer and kept only Forward and Back. This
was a disaster (and anybody with any brain can understand why, if you
went from a different directory there is no way to go up one level,
since 'Back' takes you to a completely different point of the directory
tree).

So, the question becomes, if even Microsoft was intelligent enough to
return this feature, why did *anybody* in the free software community
decide that it was good to remove it. Even the idiots who removed
buttons from the phone or made something too small to be useful as a
computer and too large to be a mobile (Apple, Inc) wouldn't dream of
doing something as stupid as this outside of some test audience.

2013-11-27 Thread Sebastien Bacher
@Volodya, thanks for sharing your opinion, some comments though:

- you are commenting at the wrong place, Ubuntu didn't remove that
feature, GNOME did (you want to comment on
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=692852 instead, where the
people who decided of the change are going to read you)

- a bug tracker is to discuss technical issues and their solution, your
comment is not really useful to provide a solution ... user
feedback/discussions are better placed on forums and lists

- that bug is about a keybinding change, your story while interesting is
about having a up button in the UI. Nautilus doesn't have one of those
but you can click on any folder in the pathbar UI which provides and
equivalent access to upper locations

Pathbar UI is just one of the ways to set up the view in Nautilus, i
always use 'Places' view, so that's not really a work around.

Just my comment: the bad thing abot having ALT+LEFT instead of
BACKSPACE, is that for pressing ALT+LEFT you need to use two hands.
Instead with BACKSPACE I pressed it with only left hand, making right
hand free to use mouse.

I know that I can customize hotkey association, but I think that hotkey
customization is very few applied now respect of years ago.

2013-05-12 Thread Stephan
It's always two steps forward and one step back with every Ubuntu
release, isn't it?  I don't care about the technicalities about whether
it's Gnome, Canonical or Stallman who's responsible for introducing this
bug.  All I know is that it says Ubuntu on the package, and the
maintainers of Ubuntu should put an effort into maintaining a level of
functionality that Ubuntu users have been accustomed to. Luckily there
was an easy fix for this, but it's still extremely annoying that one has
to browse the web after every distupgrade in order to restore normal
behaviour and functionality.  I switched to Ubuntu for a reason, and
this is NOT how Linux for Human Beings should be like!

Actually Backspace does not do the GO-BACK action, it does GO-
UP-A-FOLDER. It is different and a lot more convenient when working
inside folders, I use it a lot more often that going back to previous
folder as it is there on the keyboard and I can press it with just one
finger.

Not sure if it's going to be a default, but you'll need to add this:

to ~/.config/nautilus/accels to get Backspace back.

HTH for someone reading here.

The upstream bug shows this as the commit that removes the default
backspace key action:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/commit/?id=2f1c80cc419b7e77972f63b448afe63d37994c74

so reversing this commit would fix this bug.

The upstream status is incorrect - it should be something like 'won't
fix'.

2013-01-31 Thread Rocko
Some information from the upstream bug: it turns out that it is
configurable - the way to restore the backspace key functionality is to
add:

(gtk_accel_path Actions/ShellActions/Up BackSpace)

to ~/.config/nautilus/accels.

It's obviously a pain to have to do this manually for every Ubuntu
installation, but at least it makes nautilus more user-friendly again.

The upstream bug is flagged as resolved due to being a duplicate of what
is actually not a duplicate bug, so I doubt upstream will take any
further action.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make
Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it
would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers
of the software by following the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please
tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a

[Bug 1108637] Re: backspace key no longer works in nautilus

2013-01-29 Thread Jeremy Bicha
Firefox on Linux also uses Alt+← to go back instead of Backspace. It has
the advantage of symmetry with Alt + → for Forward and prevents
accidentally going Back a page when all you intended to do was delete
the previous character in a form but your focus was on the wrong spot.

With Nautilus 3.6's quick search I think it would be a bit more
difficult to have Backspace do two different actions (which is itself
non-intuitive).

[Bug 1108637] Re: backspace key no longer works in nautilus

2013-01-29 Thread Rocko
Hmm. I also set my Firefox and chrome up to match their default
configuration on all other OS's, ie so that backspace works as the back
key (in FF it's just setting browser.backspace_action = 0, but in chrome
you need a plugin). I just find it much more convenient than having to
search for two keys to press.

My guess is that upstream will say the same thing regarding the
backspace key - that it doesn't mesh nicely with the way quick search is
implemented when you go back - but IMO it's a real pity they've done it
this way, as I find it much slower to use nautilus now, both in that
that 'back' takes you into the previous quick search, which you then
have to cancel to see the whole contents of the folder, and in that
backspace doesn't do anything any more. (And in that you can't right-
click off away from file name to get the 'New Folder' context menu,
which was something they introduced in nautilus 3.4 as an improvement
and have now taken away again.)

Of course, a good solution would be to make all this configurable - but
this doesn't match gnome's philosophy of reducing configuration and
usability :) wherever possible.

As a workaround, Dolphin supports backspace to go back and is generally
a much better file manager than nautilus, both in usability and in
number of features. (It's just a pity that kioclient isn't as capable as
the gvfs tools for when you're trying to integrate scripts with a GUI
file manager.)
