Just annotations of little "how to's", so I know I can find how to do something I've already done when I need to do it again, in case I don't remember anymore, which is not unlikely. Hopefully they can be useful to others, but I can't guarantee that it will work, or that it won't even make things worse.
In GTK3 they came up with the notion that if you have a really long file list, and you want to get to the end of the list by pressing the "end" key, you don't really want to immediatelly jump down there to the end, instead you'd want a few seconds of an animation of the file list rolling up. Which ironically contrasts somewhat with their scrollbar innovation, of instantly moving the view to the "proportional" point on the scrollbar, rather than a click out of the scroller being...
[...] Downloading the newer schema file from https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-...er.gschema.xml and installing it in /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gtk.Settings.FileChooser.gschema.xml, running "glib-compile-schemas ." in that directory and using Alt-F2 r to restart gnome-shell seems to resolve the issue with Inkscape 1.0.1.
One of those things I can't understand in UI design is the need some designers have to force the user to have to click or press key combinations to display things that could well have been available the entire time, with no harm whatsoever to the usability, much to the contrary. I guess some people think it's cool and nerdier to have to remember the combinations.
In order to have the location field always shown on nautilus, apparently one can use the command:
On KDE/QT file dialog there's often a pop-up with a check box saying "remember only in KurrentApplication", so you can have different sets of "bookmarks", restricted to relevant applications. That is, no picture folders on audio applications and vice-versa/whatever.
Is there a hidden way to do that with GTK? Probably answering myself already, but I don't think so (the gtk-terminology would be "shortcut", instead of "bookmark", though): ...
Whereas gtk-qt-engine doesn't work very well, that is, GTK can't be easily made to "simulate" QT/KDE themes, the converse seems to work very well, and apparently no additional package is needed for that, but QT alone, or actually just qtconfig-qt4, in order to set the QT/KDE* theme as "GTK+".
So one third of the problem of desktop uniformity is solved if you have one GTK2 (I believe it's GTK2, not 3, I'm not sure) theme that you find good enough to have both in...
