@Adam: Yes, I've been working on it and have improved it based on your feedback. I've spent a lot more time on this than I intended but I want to make sure I do this right since this is actually the main reason I switched away from nautilus.
I rewrote it based on the newest gtktreeview which has a nice interactive search. Ideally I would like to accomplish all of the following: 1) Support scrolling through search w/mouse wheel 2) Hide search window when mouse clicks somewhere else (_and_ have the other widget handle that mouse press) 3) Maintain keyboard shortcut support while search is open (CTRL+W, XF86XK_HomePage, etc). As far as I can tell, nautilus 3.4 (nor nemo, nor pcmanfm) do not do all of these things but I really would like to so I'm trying. Individually they may not be difficult but all together I'm having trouble wrapping my head around it. I've managed #1 and #2 (somewhat). -- 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?
