>I custom compile gtk+ to remove the 'search on type' behavior in file>open dialogs,
This "feature" never fails to amaze me and I stumble over it _every_ time I use the file picker. And for the life of me I do not understand why someone would implement it this way.
What bugs me most is that file name in the name field is already highlighted but instead of inserting text there when typing it starts to fill in another input field. I wish someone could explain. It just feels asinine. Every time.

From what I've seen GTK / Gnome devs are incredibly unaccommodating to functionality that they don't agree with. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754302 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=754302 The patch I'm using: https://pastebin.com/cdkH8uXg https://pastebin.com/cdkH8uXg https://pastebin.com/Ek1tTcsm https://pastebin.com/Ek1tTcsm - this is 'file-chooser__typeahead.patch' which I sourced from a github somewhere
