[Bug 1666681] Re: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search)
It's not even consistent within Nautilus itself - type-ahead works fine in a "pop up file browser" when saving a file from an application or downloading a file from a browser. It's only the fewer cases where you manually launch the file browser from the desktop that it behaves different for some reason. It's always disappointing to see software developers of popular software get a bee in their bonnet over something like this, staunchly ignoring a widely used, simple feature simply because they themselves don't use it. I've seen this in the Atom Text editor too, where they closed the thread of 100's of posts asking for block select, with a dismissive "I don't think this thread is helping anyone anymore." So I switched to Sublime, which does have it. Type-ahead is in literally every other OS I've tried. Admittedly not many, but when that list involves nearly every release of Windows, Linux Mint, and Fedora, you really have to wonder why someone would choose to stick their fingers in their ears over this one - not even as an option, even somewhere buried away in a config - it's just plain disabled forever - but the functionality DOES exist in the system because it works in "popup file browsers". It's like giving the middle finger to people who regularly use this productivity time-saver. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181 Title: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1666681] Re: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search)
Agreeing. Always using type-ahead in any OS, any application really. Having it become 10x as slow (even when never allow recursive search) is a show stopper. It's literally the difference between having the UI responsive, and the content /already there/ being navigatable and waiting 5 seconds for a (flawed) subset of the data you were previously shown to reappear in a different place, with no possibility to continue navigation (like, you know, `FF` to navigate to the first `foo*` file and select 3 files down from there. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181 Title: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

PPA patch is based on commit 20cd678 from https://aur.archlinux.org /nautilus-typeahead.git repo which is meant for 3.26.2 release; although it did apply on 3.26.3, it wasn't cleanly and the result didn't compile. Next marked commit is meant for 3.28.0.1, so I didn't play with it. The changes I remember making were to nautilus-list- view.c:nautilus_list_view_set_selection() (new path2 variable), and to nautilus-window-slot.c (unclean patch apply caused another instance of configure_event_cb() to appear instead of modifying the existing one - you can download the PPA source and see that I've left the 'wrong' instance commented out in debian/patches/restore-typeahead.patch instead of removing it by mistake).

Lubomir, what changes were required on top of the arch patch to work with 3.26.3? I'm using the Arch patch as-is on Ubuntu 18.04 and there don't appear to be any problems that I've noticed so far. But assuming your changes are necessary, could you publish them somewhere? It would be great to maybe have a public git repo that people could contribute to to maintain patches for the latest few versions of Nautilus that are in common use. Ubuntu devs - now that there is a working patch again (and seemingly the will to maintain it by the arch community and others), might Ubuntu be able to ship a patched nautilus once more restoring this behaviour? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/181 Title: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/181/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1666681] Re: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search)
Hi all, I also just migrated 1 or 2 months ago to 17.10 (because of EOL) and it's horrible. I'm using Ubuntu mainly for work, so this change impacts my workflow quite heavily. Of course privately too. If you don't change the default behaviour, then you will face freezes. Most of my folders contain 100 and more subfolders and in some of them there are thousands of files. Many projects like those of Android Studio etc. contain ten-thousands of files. Just press a key by accident and nautilus freezes for 10 minutes and longer. To prevent that one has to switch of recursive search and full text search. By the heavens! This can't be the default behaviour!!! With the old behaviour, you can jump to where ever you need to. If all folders have a unique first letter, then navigation is done with one key press. Now, you still need to navigate through the results. Come on guys, "efficiency" is something different! This works even in Windows, why not in Nautilus? Btw.: I just tested the live CD of 18.04. The issue is not fixed. Just having the option to choose the behaviour would be fine.

This is so stupid. > One of my main interests in the last 4 releases was to improve this > situation, whether search doesn't replace the use cases of type ahead. Indeed, search, does NOT replace type-ahead, it's just a completely different thing, and it won't ever be a replacement, no matter how much you improve it, and regardless of performance. The solution was pretty obvious: just DON'T replace type-ahead with search. But no, idiocy had to prevail, as it usually does in Nautilus. That's a shame.

It's a shame there is no way to vote for things here, and instead weight seems given to bugs with a large number of comments / activity.

[Bug 1666681] Re: Restore interactive_search.patch (type-ahead search)
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.
