+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #894431 +++ Description of problem: Well known key f3 for splitting the panel is now not working, actually, this feature have disappeared completely. This was crucial advantage of nautilus above other filemanagers like eg thunar It hssould not be the way of gnome to *remove* _good_ features. It is enough that we must live with gnome hell or xfce.. (or mate...) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): f18-f20 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1.open nautilus filemanager 2.press f3 or search menus for split function 3.jump from window after not finding it Actual results: blood under the window Expected results: panel will be split. Additional info: Not to remove features! To add! :( --- Additional comment from on 2013-02-08 10:00:54 EST --- yes please! we miss it! it was a very good feature. so much better than the "copy to.." or "move to.." features that were added!! --- Additional comment from Filip Hrbek on 2013-05-17 04:12:58 EDT --- Yes. I was hitting F3 harder and harder until I almost broke my keyboard. I could not believe that the file manager could have been "improved" by removing yet another "confusing" feature. The actual result is that now we have a Windows-XP-like file manager that I always hated for the lack of features and kept installing other alternatives to get a two-panel manager before I switched to a Linux desktop computer. I wish I meet the person who decided that this feature would be removed... Please, put it back until I jump from the window. Thanks. --- Additional comment from Jacek Pliszka on 2013-08-25 07:40:07 EDT --- Please do it - until then I have nautilus removed - this is an essential feature for me. --- Additional comment from jiri vanek on 2013-09-03 09:38:20 EDT --- yy, agree here. I had moved to caja because of it... Well now moved to mate with nemo... good work really :-/ --- Additional comment from Fedora End Of Life on 2013-12-21 05:19:57 EST --- This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 23 development cycle. Changing version to '23'. (As we did not run this process for some time, it could affect also pre-Fedora 23 development cycle bugs. We are very sorry. It will help us with cleanup during Fedora 23 End Of Life. Thank you.) More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping/Fedora23
Nautilus is nearly unusable without it. People are moving to Caja or similar just because of it. And gnomehell do not like other windows managers.
I am not using nautilus any more. I use nemo instead.
Nautilus needs this feature restored
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 24 development cycle. Changing version to '24'. More information and reason for this action is here: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_Program_Management/HouseKeeping/Fedora24#Rawhide_Rebase
When is this feature going to be restored? I miss it. It saves many many keystrokes.
Please restore this.
This bug is going on since 2013-01-11. Thats shameful. There are two mause gestures which can put nautilus window to left half xor right half of monitor. If original f3 result is to harsh to current nautilua, maybe it can wrap the geastures? So it will pt the current window to one side, create new window and put it to left side?

We're not planning to reintroduce the split panel feature. Nautilus is primarily a single panel file browser and we have tasks with higher priority to complete. Any feature suggestions should be submitted in upstream bugzilla. To me, it seems like an interesting idea, but it may have design flaws, so it needs to be well thought through.
But do you realize that gnome3 was originally released with "f3 on"? So this is regression.
Needs to be restored for F25, as it was functional, don't you think?
Will we see it restored for F26?

Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
Keep missing.
(In reply to jiri vanek from comment #16) > Keep missing. Keeping this bug report alive is not going to bring that feature back. The answer is still the same: Nautilus is a single-panel file browser, the split-panel is not on our roadmap and we're not planning to reintroduce it.
Hm. Sad to hear. Considering how the component nesting works, and how small was the patch removing it....
I would love to come back to nautilus (default GNOME) and that's why I keep this report alive. Thanks to that every half a year I am getting confirmation the following is right: DO NOT USE NAUTILUS! REPLACE IT BY NEMO!
yup. So am I. I switched to Caja....

Jiri, In communication about this issue long ago, which I did not found a record now, you mentioned, that this feature can be handled by "drag nautilus to one of the corners (it place itself into half of the screen) then new window, and drag to the second corner" Can this behaviour be hidden into f3 stroke?
This bug is currently reported against a Fedora version which is already unsuported. I am changing the version to '27', the latest supported release. Please check whether this bug is still an issue on the '27' release. If you find this bug not being applicable on this release, please close it.

This is still the single most annoying thing for me in the fresh Fedora install - I have to replace Nautilus with Nemo. If Nautilus is a single pane browser - maybe there is a chance for some kind of aggregator that holds 2 single panel Nautiluses together... Another solution would be to replace Nautilus with Nemo...

Still the most annoying omission from Nautilus (2nd being connect to server and 3rd opening terminal). Still forced to use Nemo because of it.
Closing this bug as wontfix as we will not be working on resolving this in Fedora. I recommend working with the upstream project to look at this if you care enough about the issue, but my general impression here is that unless a patch is provided and agreed to with upstream maintainer you are unlikely to see these features added to Nautilus.
