> missing type-ahead search in Nautilus file browser

I'd forgotten this! Very frustrating when you're used to using this to switch to a file in that directory. I also missed split-screen functionality, and the inability to right click and fire up a terminal from that location. Oh, and also looks like they've dropped being able to double-click on an executable .sh file to run it.

Luckily none of this bothers me as there is Caja.

I agree, but FWIW you can press Ctrl-L to focus the address bar, which allows you to enter a relative path, e.g. name of a file/directory in the current directory.

Restore sanity by applying the following patch: https://code.hackerspace.pl/q3k/q3kverlay/tree/x11-libs/gtk+...

(or just use this overlay if you run Gentoo)

Any tutorial on this ? And above all, how to automate it so that it's applied after updates ?

You can try https://launchpad.net/~lubomir-brindza/+archive/ubuntu/nauti...

I'll try to keep it up to date.

(or the Nemo file browser, which also retained split-window functionality)

Depends on the distribution you use. Some (Debian, Ubuntu) make it extremely annoying to apply your own patches to packages, while others (Arch, Gentoo) make it very easy.
