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 available 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. - -*********** List view ******************** - -[TODO: Add stuff here] |
