           Summary: Use the Nautilus keyboard search facility
           Product: konqueror
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konq-bugs kde org
        ReportedBy: ramjet templeofdin co uk


Version:           3.5.5 (using KDE KDE 3.5.5)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

Recently Nautilus introduced a splendidly usable "keyboard search facility" whereby \
pressing the first few letters of a file or directory name would take the focus to \
the next file or directory whose name started with the letters just pressed.

e.g. if you have are displaying a directory which ocntains the following directories \
and files:

Elvis
Foobar
Fred
Green Onions
Grexnix
Xerxes

Then pressing "fo" would make "Foobar" the selected item.  Similarly pressing "grex" \
would select "Grexnix" etc.

I would like to see Konqueror adopt this behavious as it is damn useful for people \
like me who can't "see the file name for looking" but can soon find it by using the \
keyboard.

Thankyou.

P.S. Obviously the best way for you to see this in action is to use Nautilus and try \
it out but   maybe asking a KDE developer to use a GNOME app might make their head \
explode :) _______________________________________________
