Re: Feature Request - GNOME Windows Buttons

[Roland Orre <roland orre gmail com>]

I'm not using gnome3 as it became so weird, but when I'm helping
other people install a new system I usually recommend gnome-classic
which is gnome3, but I haven't checked key defintions, as these
are machines I'm not using, I'm using fluxbox nowadays.

Do you really mean D.J.J. Ringm that you can not longer define
arbitrary keys in gnome3. That can't be possible, why would the
gnome develoopers do something that weird?

Isn't it simply some config file for gtk that need changing?
Gnome3 uses gtk3 I presume and I have no problem at all with
gtk3 applications, they work excellent, but the key defines are
different than gtk2, to get e.g. emacs editing keys in gkt3
you need to modify ~/.config/gtk-3.0
I assume you can define hotkeys for nautilus in
~/.config/nautilus/settings.ini
or something, but of some reason I can not find any info
on that.... I'll check the nautilus source how it's done, as I
need to recompile it on one machine.

Also, a general problem with many gtk/gnome applications
is that they do not update their menues after changing hotkeys.

I consider the whole key handling quite a mess currently.
It needs quite some unnecessary effort to get a consistent key
handling theme throughout all applications.

Hello,

Forgive the possible noise.

I tried to use the archive search but it did not give me meaningful results in fact it didn't give me results from this list at all, but google results.

I've searched for this solution but found none, except that nemo has been forked from nautilus to provide dropped features.

The problem with going to nemo is loosing accessibility with gnome orca and not having the wonderful features of nautilus.

I find the new interface to be so frustrating to be nearly useless.  The file listings and every feature work very well but I cannot minimize or close the window without much effort.

I know that for some users the newer way of doing things is faster and more efficient but for some remembering new shortcuts to close a window when ALL the rest of the windows in GNOME can be closed by clicking the X in the menu, is frustrating.

Could a setting be included in the next improvement to nautilus if it doesn't already exist to allow nautilus to have the regular buttons that everything else does if the user wishes to have them?

Other than that there is no reason to use anything else.  Nautilus is awesome and works very well for the blind user or visually impaired user.
