[rox-devel] RFE: ROX key navigation

[Daniel P. <dan...@gm...>]

Hi,

my last suggestion for today, promised ;-)

Until now I've used mainly the mouse for navigating through nautilus,
but in the last days I tried to use the keyboard only.

To improve the key navigation, I had the following ideas: 

o change the behavior of <space>, so that it just switches to the next
  file, without keeping the selection. Most people should be used to
  this (<space> as 'next') through various image viewers and (maybe)
  emacs-dired.  It's a very fast way of moving and you have your hands
  where the other shortcuts are.  If someone wants to use the "old"
  behaviour, it can be bound to <S-space> or <C-space>.

o provide an easier way to move to the first occurance of a character.
  so that (e.g.) <,-c> highlights the first file starting with 'c'. I
  know this is possible with '/' but it forces me to hit <ESC>
  afterwards. Imagine how fast it could be in connection with the
  latter point: <,-c-space-space-enter>

o really SELECT the file you are on. At the moment you need to hit
  <space>+<o> for opening a file with the SendTo menu (if you have
  bound <o> to 'Open With...')


O.k. ready, I hope I didn't bugged you with my Ideas ;-)

Rgds,
Daniel
