Yes, it would override the default action for that shortcut. I'm sorry that I didn't make it clear. I suggested using Ctrl + F, which would override the default action, because people commonly associate this shortcut with a search function, and non-recursive search in current working directory still can be performed in a another way so we don't lose functionality. However, we don't necessarily have to use Ctrl + F for that custom action. If you're personally against this change or there is a concern that using an existing shortcut for something different will cause too much controversy among Thunar users, who are used to the current state of things, we could use different unused shortcut, such as Ctrl + Shift + F. My main idea here is to make recursive search more accessible and the actual shortcut that would be used for this is a secondary matter for me as long as it stays intuitive and easy to press with one hand.
As for the unique identifier requirement - if I am not mistaken, it should be possible to create unique identifiers for custom actions provided by Xubuntu, by modifying https://git.launchpad.net/xubuntu-default-settings/tree/etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/Thunar/uca.xml.in I have attached the diff file that demonstrates how uca.xml.in could be altered. After hardcoding these unique identifiers it would become possible to create /etc/xdg/xdg-xubuntu/Thunar/accels.scm file with shortcuts assigned to the custom actions. It should still be possible for the user to overwrite the default shortcuts using GUI or modifying ~/.config/Thunar/accels.scm by hand. In case of doubt if assigning the same shortcut (F4) to two different custom actions rather than one could and should be done - IMO this is needed because one custom action is responsible for opening the terminal when folder is selected or nothing is selected at all. The second custom action is responsible for opening the terminal when a file is selected. Assigning F4 shortcut to only one of these actions will result in the inability to open the terminal with a shortcut in one of the above situations. Although the graphical editor does not allow you to assign one shortcut to two different actions, it's still possible to do this by editing accels.scm and doing so doesn't seem to cause any conflicts in this particular case. ** Attachment added: "uca.xml.in diff file" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1793395/+attachment/5191970/+files/patch.txt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1793395 Title: [Suggestion] Change default keyboard shortcuts in Thunar To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xubuntu-default-settings/+bug/1793395/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
