GNOME's Nautilus file manager is finally matching the behavior of other file managers like KDE's Dolphin and Xfce's Thunar with a keyboard shortcut for copying and pasting files.

This Week in GNOME highlighted a notable albeit one could argue long overdue change for GNOME Files / Nautilus: Ctrl+Insert and Shift+Insert support for copying and pasting files.

The most exciting new thing in Gnome is a new shortcut in Nautilus. What has happened to the project?

    If it ain't broken, don't fix it.

    I've heard "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." WAY TOO MANY times.
    If it ain't broken, it can be better; improve it.

    I have to use too many extensions to make it usable. When we'll get proper multi monitor support with top bar settings?

    What's wrong with multi monitor?

    Gnome has been my example as the best multimonitor experience. It's more reliable than even my work Mac when working with mixed DPI and multiple displays.

    I have to use "fullscreen avoider" and "multi-monitor panel" extensions.

    The first moves the top panel to the second monitor if there's a fullscreen window on the first.

    The second creates another top panel on all the others monitor.

    Since them are in effect different panels, others extensions doesn't show up on secondary monitor's top panel (like for example audio mixer). So by using "fullscreen avoider" I have those extensions on the secondary monitor while I'm gaming or watching a video.

    Most of the exciting GNOME changes are in mutter rather than the shell.

    This release we got a lot of efficiency and performance improvements which are exciting but not news headline clickbait exciting.
