[Solved] Where to paste a path into "Open File" dialog? (Linux)

[Daxx]

Hi,

I’ve just upgraded o/s to Kubuntu 20.04 (KDE desktop) and I can’t see how to open a known path (on the clipboard) without resorting to ‘subl’ from a console.

Using Build 3211

I’ve seen mention of GTK+ 3 theme incompatibility but I’m not sure that’s the problem.

I’ve been using ST3 for 5 years on Kubuntu 14.04 and never had this problem.

I also notice that on the reply to the same link as above, there’s a pencil icon which looks like it might be for editing the filename instead of the train of blocks?

Still, I don’t have anything like that:

Am I going maaad (again)?

The GTK3 open file dialog has had lots of complaints about it. IIRC if you have a path in your clipboard you can simply paste it, otherwise you can open the location text box using ctrl+l.

That’s wondrous. Thanks very much, bschaaf

I’m thinking that there’s an icon missing from a set, so it just isn’t displayed but I have nothing to compare it with because I’ve probably been on a GTK2 setup.

ctrl+l

There’s no icon missing, there just isn’t a way to do it without keyboard shortcuts sadly.
