[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1164016] Re: restore type-ahead find
I think a nice way to solve this stupid debate could be to ensure that the files are displayed in a STABLE order - type ahead results from the current folder first - folders first - files in the current folder before the other files... what is MOST annoying with the current feature is that when you have spotted the file you're interested it (or quite often the folder) then - there can be other files/folder with the same name and it is impossible to know which is relevant (it should be the closest, the one from the current folder, etc). It seems to be the last used, so it changes - when you have spotted the folder or file you want to open, the time you move your pointer to open it the files are reorganized as further search has been done, and you open some other random file. How is it possible to maintain such a feature the way it currently works?

I don't know how long it will take, but in the meantime Ubuntu could ship the patch maintained by the Arch community: https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/tree/nautilus-restore- typeahead.patch?h=nautilus-typeahead It looks like this patch is kept up to date pretty well. There is a similar patch for gtk3 to make the file chooser dialog have type-ahead. It's the best of both worlds, since you can still tap ctrl-f to search. Whilst it would be nice for the Nautilus devs to upstream the patch or for there to be a dialog about what kind of patch they might accept (if any), in the meantime distros can include the patch, there is little downside since the patch is maintained and not bit rotting.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1164016] Re: restore type-ahead find
I don't think it's true that an option is always good. I think software should endeavour to have decent default options, and if multiple use cases can be accommodated without an option, then that is preferable. But you're right, a recursive search with ctrl-f vs typeahaed with simple typing would accomplish what everyone wants without an option. I'm using the 'search in current folder only' setting in order to make the search more like typeahead, but this has the downside that I have to go into the settings to do an actual recursive search. In reality, recursive search is useful, and I want to use it, but it's different to typeahead and it's a shame I have to pick one or the other. Ideally for me would be typing is just going to select things similarly to the old typeahead behaviour, and ctrl-f would do a search, either in the current folder or recursively depending on a checkbox that would ideally be in the main interface next to the search box rather than in the settings menu - since one often wants one or the other, it's not really an all-time preference. I do think things will eventually go back this way. There is currently wasted effort trying to make search meet the requirements of type-ahead, whereas this would be unnecessary if typeahead existed too. Search is becoming a bit of a frankenstein trying to be both, with returning items from the current folder first, and having the search-in-current-folder- only setting being global. It should just be search - features should do one thing each instead of trying to please everyone. I understand that search has been improved a lot in response to complaints about type-ahead being removed, and this shows that the devs are trying to meet people's use cases. But ultimately I think it is misguided and making the search implementation more complex than it otherwise would need to be. They are really are different features. So I know there has been a lot of vitriol over this issue, but I would encourage the nautilus devs to consider that they should become different features once again. Ctrl-f to search will not confuse anybody, type-ahead will not confuse anybody, whereas the current search is trying to be both and so can behave unexpectedly in terms of the order of search results and whether the search is recursive. Presumably this means code complexity too. I also understand that the old type-ahead code was holding back the codebase and so it was desirable to excise it. I imagine new typeahead functionality, working as much as possible within the current codebase and its future directions, would be more amenable to nautilus dev approval than just restoring the old code. For example, we probably don't need the popup box in the bottom right as you type. It should just be type a few characters and have a few-second timeout before forgetting them, just like it is on other platforms such as windows and macos (I think). It seems similar to me to the case or removing nautilus handling the desktop. The code was holding back the codebase, but now we see that a desktop extension for gnome-shell is in development by the main nautilus dev. I do think Nautilus can satisfy everyone's preferences here, and I do think typeahead will eventually be re implemented once tensions die down, especially if the nautilus devs can do it on their terms instead of rejecting a patch that just re-adds code that they don't want to maintain. A good typeahead implementation would even allow Nautilus to remove code that customises how the search works to make it more useful as typeahead - there would no longer be a need for that if typeahead were present in its own right. -- 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: Expired Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in ubuntu-settings package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: GNOME removed type-ahead find in Nautilus 3.6, not without controversy: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus- list/2012-August/msg2.html Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1164016] Re: restore type-ahead find
There's no need for an option. You can already do a recursive search with Ctrl+F. I "can't believe" one would want to enable type-ahead-recursive-search instead of type-ahead-select-in-current-folder by default just to spare themselves the trouble of hitting Ctrl+F. However, an option, even if for enabling the weirdest preference or for accomodating the rarest use case, is always a good thing. What is absolutely unacceptable is a wrong default behavior that, even worse, cannot even be changed to the more sensible one. That is, the current situation.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1164016] Re: restore type-ahead find
OK. So I was a happy user of 16.04. With a new computer in August, I thought it would make sense to go with 18.04. One of the biggest issues is this searching stuff in Nautilus. Why? 1. It is not instant (unlike the type/find ahead of Nautilus in 16.04). I cannot type and then press enter and load the folder I want. 2. It is inconsistent with file dialogs (e.g. save or open) where find/type ahead works as expected. 3. Often I just want to see the files and folders in relation to one another. I might want to see the files starting with 'th', and being able to see the files starting with 'te' and 'tg' before the ones starting with 'th' is often quite useful. 4. There is no way that I can see to make it search only within the directory and not recursively search all subdirectories. I don't like that. 5. And searching within subdirectories doesn't even work 100% of the time! E.g. A search for a dot folder consistently doesn't turn it up.

> I can't completely understand what GNOME developers are trying to achieve! > 18.04 LTS and 18.10 are trying to perform search after entering first letter. The underlying assumption seems to be that when you type the name of a file, the only thing you may possibly want is to search for that file, and that if the search is recursive within subdirectory, that's even better, and that the only reason you may not want that, is because a recursive search can become slow; but since they have optimized search so much that it is always instant-fast (or so they claim), then who wouldn't want Nautilus to just start searching recursively and instantly showing you the search results as you type? Genius, right? Wrong. Becaue even assuming a recursive search in a bazillion files could be performed in a nanosecond, that is not necessarily what we want when we type a partial filename. Many of us just want to SELECT a file within the current directory while still viewing all of its contents and not just the matching file/s. Perhaps you want to simply SPOT that file and select other ones that are near to it, or actually select that one but also other ones.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1164016] Re: restore type-ahead find
Why don't we have both options? Why removing something that we like
(find folder/file with a letter) and insisting on something else
(search)? I am trying to get used to this new behavior for almost a
week, but it is just slowing me down.
This could be implemented as simple as this:
## keypress event
switch (option_search_or_locate ) {
case 1: locate_folder (char_pressed); break;
case 2: search (char_pressed); break;
}

The old behaviour was one of the power features of Nautilus for a person that uses keyboard navigation. The new behaviour is dramatically different and frankly doesn't work as well for many use cases. Lets say I want to quickly navigate to ~/code/myproject/module/__init__.py. 1. I switch to Nautilus which shows my home folder A. With the old behaviour: c ENTER m ENTER m ENTER __i ENTER B. With the new behaviour: __init__.py, and it shows me tons of __init__.py located in my home folder and all subdirectories 2. Trying to use the new behaviour and still achieve my goal I try this: i) module/__init__.py, no hit ii) module __init__.py, no hit So, currently I see no way of navigating to the intended file without alot of hassle or reaching for the mouse.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1164016] Re: restore type-ahead find
@Ajay: That's a rather subjective opinion! Search will always get slow on huge folders. Because of the technical nature of type-ahead it is still fast even on huge folder contents. When I use type-ahead it takes me less than 1 second to choose and enter a folder. I know my folders and their subfolders, I'm dependent on the speed of type-ahead because I use a chain of multiple letter and enter key strokes to navigate through many folders in a second. If type-ahead would be replaced by search, the speed of search results would depend on the folder's content size and I would not be able to use my quick chain of key strokes anymore due to the irregular response time of the search. I admit, this is a rather subjective opinion as well! But type-ahead has been there for years, it is also integrated into the file managers of OS X or Windows and into the majority of the Linux ones. Your solution mentioned might be an improvement for _some_ people. But that doesn't mean it should replace type-ahead. It could be added as an optional feature that can be activated within the settings. Linux software in general is about configuration customization - not about claiming you know what is best by forcing your opinion on others and killing features.

Jumping to the file beginning with the typed letter is NOT the best behavior. Searching all the folders and subfolders when something is typed is also not the best behavior.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1164016] Re: restore type-ahead find
I navigate nautilus with typeahead, enter and backspace. Used to work wonderfully and was a good example of how the same interface can be usefull usefull for both power user and novice. Now that is completely broken. This is not a performance problem (tracker/no tracker), it is a qualitative problem. Gnome new word order only works if you have globally unique names for files and directories. -- 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/msg2.html Now when you type in a Nautilus window, Nautilus immediately performs a search in the current directory and all its subdirectories.
