From the article's summary:
> Some common features are only accessible - and discoverable - through keyboard shortcuts. The keyboard shortcuts listing is non-interactive, modal, and incurs a substantial mental context switch.
- nextos 2y agoThat's something natural, touch interfaces need to be simpler. I didn't miss any normal functionality without access to a keyboard.

- mananaysiempre 2y agoThis part was about the location bar, I believe. For what it’s worth, on my machine (with Files 46.2) clicking on the name of the current directory or on empty space to the right of it in the location bar does turn it into a text box. (I always use Ctrl-L in practice so I had to actually go and check. It might be that clicking did not work in earlier versions?..)
- horsawlarway 2y agoHe's just wrong though. Clicking anywhere on the bar immediately turns on the edit for me (and has for years). So either debian is turning on some odd defaults (maybe? It's been a long time since I used debian with a DE). Or... (and this is my guess) he mucked around running commands he didn't understand trying to fix his "solid color desktop" issue and broke it himeself. I'm very suspicious of the lack of anti-aliasing in his screenshots as well.
- Kbelicius 2y ago> Clicking anywhere on the bar immediately turns on the edit for me (and has for years). Either you aren't using gnome files or you somehow enabled that feature yourself because click to edit was released earlier this year. EDIT: Click to edit mentioned as a new feature of gnome version released this year: https://release.gnome.org/46/ https://release.gnome.org/46/
