Description

GNOME Files (Nautilus) with type-ahead functionality.

The default behavior on Nautilus nowadays is to type to search, i.e., to start a search when typing a character. This package simply applies a pre-existing patch developed by the community to restore the type-ahead functionality, i.e., browsing/navigating on key press, the default behavior on many file managers. The new functionality may be toggled on the Preferences window (Search on type ahead):
