IMO it is important that typeahead in the file chooser works just like typeahead in all other list and tree views. I don't think that changing the behaviour of typeahead is a good idea. I also doubt that it will silent the people asking for an entry box. > CTRL-O <- open dialog > /tmp <- ends up in the popup entry and you can use TAB-completion > ENTER <- show the temp directory in the dialog Here's what I do to achieve that: Ctrl-O, "/t", Enter > CTRL-O > /tmp/foo.png <- here I used tab-completion :-) > ENTER <- dialog closes and image is opened Here's what I do to achieve that: Ctrl-O, "/t", Enter, "f", Enter Your proposal makes some sense, I am not convinced that it is a good idea but it should probably be considered.
