Thanks DragoonAethis, I'll update the patch with your version.

Rebased the patch for 44.1 and synchronized PKGBUILD with the upstream Arch repo: https://gist.github.com/DragoonAethis/fa8122cd7032bab6d9a0795a6acb3ae4

The patch mostly worked as-is, but the typeahead lookups don't work in opened subtrees, as the patch looks up just the current location. There are two ways to handle that:

  • Either look up the current location + opened subtrees and allow typeahead to work in all of them at once. This maximizes confusion if you open subtrees containing the same file names and the sort order isn't patched to match the displayed one :)
  • Keep track of the currently-focused subtree (parent directory of the currently-focused entry, root if no entry is focused). Not sure if it's possible to focus (not select) multiple entries.

(The Gtk4 branch is still kinda a janky downgrade, but it's getting there...)

The new implementation is brand new so the behavior might be slightly different. Patches welcome :) The first thing you mention seems like a bug to me.

In the newest version, the typeahead candidates are taken in a different order than they are being displayed. So, if I have the following files sorted by last modified:

file_new.txt someotherfile.txt file.txt

and type file, the file.txt is highlighted, not file_new, which appears first in the file list.

Additionally, the up/down keys used to iterate between matches, so I could type file and use the down arrow to navigate to a different match if the file initially matched is different than the one I'm looking for. This behavior is absent. Perhaps the keybindings for iterating between matches have changed?

Also, to everyone reading this: Please upvote the upstream issue requesting typeahead to be added back to Nautilus: https://gitlab.gnome.org/Teams/Design/whiteboards/-/issues/142

Thanks a lot @bryango, I tested the patch and it seems to work. I'll update the package to 43.2 now 🥳🥳

I have checked that the patch https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/-/merge_requests/1030 by @xclaesse works for me. Do note that some nautilus extensions (python or otherwise) may no longer work in v43. I've hence ported the patch back to v43.2. See:

The PKGBUILD is forked from the official arch repo.

Solved by a temporary return to Manjaro Community libnautilus-extension via PACAUR.

Hello,

Even by the git way:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/nautilus-typeahead.git
cd nautilus-typeahead
env LC_ALL=C makepkg -si

or with only 

makepkg -si

the build fails with this traceback:

...
[290/369] Compiling C object src/libnautilus.a.p/nautilus-vfs-directory.c.o
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in build().
    Aborting...

And I have the last ninja package (1.11.1-1) from Community on my Manjaro Xfce system (Oddly, this package doesn't seem to be dependent on any other and isn't marked orphaned...).

EDIT: I just saw that I have nautilus installed as fallback file browser and easytag which needs libnautilus-extension or libnautilus-extension-typeahead...
