This document describes the keyboard and mouse navigation model used
|
|
in the default Nautilus views in detail. This is useful as a a guide
|
|
for people implementing a Nautilus view or something else that wants
|
|
to have a feel that is compatible with Nautilus.
|
|
|
|
*********** Icon view ********************
|
|
|
|
Keyboard:
|
|
=========
|
|
|
|
Navigation and selection:
|
|
|
|
When the focus is on the icon view you can move the currently selected
|
|
icon by using:
|
|
|
|
Arrow Keys - moves one step in the direction
|
|
Tab - moves to the "next" icon in order (i.e. at the end of one row,
|
|
go to the first icon the next row)
|
|
Shift Tab - moves to the "previous" icon in order
|
|
Home - moves to the first icon
|
|
End - moves to the last icon
|
|
|
|
In order to allow multiple selection the above navigation keys can be
|
|
combined with the Control key to move the keyboard focus without
|
|
affecting the current selection. If you use normal movement (not using
|
|
control) all the previously selected icons will be deselected.
|
|
|
|
If several icons are selected and there is no keyboard focus you press
|
|
up or left will start navigating from the topmost leftmost icon, while
|
|
pressing down or right will start from the bottommost rightmost
|
|
icon. This works the same way if you hold down Control.
|
|
|
|
To select or deselect an icon position the keyboard focus on it and
|
|
press ctlr-space. ctrl-space with no keyboard focus produces a
|
|
keyboard focus at the first selected icon, or the first one if none
|
|
are selected.
|
|
|
|
In manual layout (and especially, on the desktop) the keyboard arrow
|
|
keys work in a slightly different way. To allow all icons to be
|
|
reached the closest icon in the quadrant of the direction selected
|
|
will be used as the "next" icon when navigating.
|
|
|
|
Other keyboard shortcuts:
|
|
|
|
Return, Keypad Return - Activate the selected objects
|
|
Space (without control) - Activate the selected objects
|
|
Escape - Undo icon stretching if in progress
|
|
|
|
Alt Left - go back
|
|
Alt Right - go forward
|
|
Alt Up - go up a directory
|
|
Alt Down - enter directory / activate selection
|
|
|
|
Shift-F10 bring up context menu for selection, or the directory context menu if nothing is selected
|
|
Ctrl-F10 bring up context menu for directory
|
|
|
|
Other key presses are used for typeahead search
|
|
|
|
In rename mode:
|
|
|
|
Escape - Cancel rename
|
|
Return, Keypad Return - Finish rename
|
|
|
|
Mouse:
|
|
======
|
|
|
|
In double click mode:
|
|
|
|
Clicking on an icon selects it and deselects all others on
|
|
BUTTON_PRESS. Dragging does the default dnd file operation.
|
|
|
|
Clicking on blank space deselect all selected icons. Doesn't allow
|
|
dragging.
|
|
|
|
Double clicking (both clicks on the same icon) with no modifiers
|
|
activates the clicked file. (And deselects the others due to the first
|
|
click.)
|
|
|
|
Clicking when Control (Shift can also be used, which is not written
|
|
out below) is held down can be used to do multiple selections.
|
|
|
|
Control-click on empty space does nothing.
|
|
Control-click on unselected icon selects it on BUTTON_PRESS
|
|
Control-click on selected icon de-selects it on BUTTON_RELEASE
|
|
Control-double click does nothing
|
|
Control can be held down while starting a drag
|
|
|
|
While doing a drag modifers affect the operation the drag causes:
|
|
Control - Copy the files
|
|
Shift - Move the files
|
|
Alt - Open a menu with the availible alternatives
|
|
|
|
All the basic clicks are typically done with the left button, but can
|
|
be done with the other buttons to. [Do we want this?] However some of
|
|
the buttons also have special operations:
|
|
|
|
Right-click on a selected icon opens the context menu for the selected
|
|
icons.
|
|
Right-click on empty space opens the context menu for the directory.
|
|
Middle-button drag always opens the menu with possible operations on
|
|
drop.
|
|
|
|
In single click mode:
|
|
|
|
Single click mode work just like double click mode except single
|
|
clicks on icons activate the icon on button release if you didn't
|
|
drag, didn't hold down for 1.5 secs or clicked twice within the
|
|
double-click time.
