I'm interested in getting this resolved, and I might even be willing to learn the innards of Nautilus just to fix this, but it's unclear what the impact would be even if I did. It seems that upstream made an immovable "design" decision to blaze ahead with the type-to-search misfeature and that nothing users say/do will change that.
So, are you proposing that Ubuntu will maintain a fork (or a forked patch or two) for Nautilus? Is that a reasonable goal? If we develop a simple enough fix, is it likely Ubuntu will carry it separate from upstream GNOME/Nautilus? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1164016/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
