Nautilus paste behavior (ctrl + v)

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.

Re: Nautilus paste behavior (ctrl + v)

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.

Re: Nautilus paste behavior (ctrl + v)

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.

Re: Nautilus paste behavior (ctrl + v)

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.

Re: Nautilus paste behavior (ctrl + v)

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

Re: Nautilus paste behavior (ctrl + v)

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