Thunar File Manager left side pane (tree view) configuration












0














On Thunar 1.6, Xubuntu 16.0.5:



I don't know if it's possible, but why when I select a folder in Thunar on left side pane (tree view) and hit for example g, nothing happens. I would expect that the selection jumps to the first match of a folder or file beginning with a letter "g". This behavior works on right side pane (shortcuts view) as expected.



Another issue: selected folder on left side pane, then hit Enter, also nothing happens, I have to hover the cursor over the expander, then left click to open it. Can I change these settings?

  • Regarding the folding issue: You can hit the right arrow key or + to unfold, and the left arrow or - to fold. Also, if you'd like to avoid having to use the mouse, you can cycle through the left side pane, the main area, and the address bar using tab and shift + tab.
