Cannot type file paths on any Open File Dialogs?












0















There is no way I can type/paste a file path when I use some Open File dialog:



enter image description here



There is not right click option or anything. I use linux Mint XFCE 19.1:



linux@linux:~$ uname -a
Linux linux 4.15.0-20-generic #21-Ubuntu SMP Tue Apr 24 06:16:15 UTC 2018 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


I had installed nemo and set it as the default file manager, then I uninstalled, but the Open File Dialog still does not allow me to type the file path.

  • Try Ctrl+L - the Gnome “location-popup” signal

If the file dialog is based on the Gnome toolkit (Gtk), then you should be able to toggle the location popup using keyboard shortcut Ctrl+L



See GtkFileChooserWidget: The “location-popup” signal
