File Chooser gripes, I get. It's one of many pain points of GNOME, and one that's haunted GNOME for ages. But GNOME is highly (primarily even) keyboard-driven.

File Chooser gripes, I get. It's one of many pain points of GNOME, and one that's haunted GNOME for ages. But GNOME is highly (primarily even) keyboard-driven. The meme since 3.0 is that it's built for touch first, but nobody who's said that has ever used GNOME on a touch device, it is a nightmare. GNOME's primary controls are through keyboard shortcuts or the occasional broad mouse gesture that has a faster keyboard alternative.
