Updated version of the patch for latest gtk3
version for /etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/gtk+:3

Description Dmitriy Dyomin 2016-06-05 10:35:50 UTC 
It would be nice to restore old "type-to-select-file" behavior in gtk+:3 windows instead of modern "recursive search". Upstream developers claim (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748672) that it's a cool feature, while it's the most annoying thing in the toolkit.

Moreover, a workaround exists for Arch Linux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-typeahead/).

I propose you to add IUSE="typeahead" and do epatch "typeahead.patch" to give the users the right to choose

Reproducible: Always

Updated version of the patch for latest gtk3

A friend prepared a patch for the latest version of GTK3, posting as per his request.

USE flag this patch adds is not enabled by default, so merging it will only affect people who explicitly opt into using it.

version for /etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/gtk+:3

This is a version of the patch we can put directly in /etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/gtk+:3

Tested fine with x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.38::gentoo

And I agree, the original behaviour of that widget is the most annoying "feature" of this toolkit.
Comment 5 Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev 2024-04-06 08:09:58 UTC 
We aren't going to be adding custom behavior changing patches to old slots of GTK (or new ones, but with old ones we'd be stuck with them forever).
