Lots of opinions that are less than idea in gnome. But the only one that really breaks me is lack of typeahead in Nautilus.
I just want to type D, enter and open Documents/, how hard can it be. It's been almost a decade since they removed it, and I still can't use vanilla Nautilus.
I always end up with Nemo or a patched Nautilus.
rant aside, the rest of gnome seems fine. Don't love it, but also don't hate it. I can add my own shortcuts with rofi/dmenu.
Works for me. I'm typing D, it instantly filters the list of files and selects first item. That's "desktop" for me, so I need to type O or press Down to select "documents" and type <Enter>.
The filtering of files is not instant. If you type do<enter> it won't be fast enough. Maybe there have been slight improvements.
But afaik it still defaults to search.
