In previous versions of Ubuntu typing in the file explorer would scroll down your directory alphabetically based on your typing. Now it does a find/search which is much slower and... a horrible experience for my frankly.

Is there a way to change this behaviour back to how it used to be?

Thanks

  • Not possible as I know... that feature has been dropped in nautilus. You can use other file managers instead, things like nemo, thunar, etc. – Ravexina Aug 13 '18 at 13:10
  • @Marogian nice catch! FYI Caja from MATE DE has this functionality in all supported Ubuntu versions. – N0rbert Aug 13 '18 at 13:16

    @Marogian I have just tested patched Nautilus from ppa:lubomir-brindza/nautilus-typeahead on my 18.04.1 LTS. It works as before. Based on this answer. – N0rbert Aug 13 '18 at 13:37
