Nautilus paste behavior (ctrl + v)

Nepherte · 2011-05-30 21:19:28

The ctrl + v behavior in nautilus mysteriously changed from actually copying the file to only pasting the path: a popup text box appears in the bottom right corner containing the path of the file. I have no idea what caused the behavioral change. I know it is not a matter of rights: pasting the file using the right click menu works, as is copying the file in console or in another file manager. I'm using nautilus in XMonad.

~~This worked for me.~~

Edit:
Only seemed to work until next restart.

There is nothing wrong with my keyboard layout. It's exactly the layout I want. It wouldn't explain the different behavior in thunar and pcmanfm either. It must be some weird configuration setting somewhere, cause I have an almost identical system which doesn't have the issue.

I have the same problem, also Ctrl + F behavior mysteriously.

A bug in Nautilus perhaps?:

Are you guys using Gnome 3 (gnome-shell), because I had the same problem with Ctrl+v? I have solved by installing 'gnome-tweak-tool' pack and reenabling all shell-extensions again (just turn off and so turn on again). My distro is Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) with Gnome 3, I don't know if this will work for arch too.

There's now a gnome bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=651574

I am also affected by this issue.

I am using GNOME 3 too and I'm also affected by this issue.

It seems that the problem comes from the file ~/.gnome2/accels/nautilus where you can find two line for ctrl+v : gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/Paste" and (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ClipboardActions/Paste" "<Control>v") . The problem being the second one.

You can delete the entire file (or try just the line, I use to delete the directory accels without having any problem after), log out and log in again and it should work as expected (need to log out, nautilus -q is not enough). It works for me, even if I have to do it again some times.

There seem to be much more "Control+V" fields, but editing or even deleting the whole file fixes the issue for me. It seems to be what is noted in the header -> a dump

this does not work for me

Fixed upstream -> http://git.gnome.org/browse/nautilus/co … 4aee535fa3
I hope this will be part of Nautilus 3.2.0?
