Not true. I changed a key-binding just this morning. How do I assign a New Folder keybinding to Nautilus?
The same way you do in just about every GNOME applications.
Go to System -> Personal -> Look-n-Feel, then in the Interface tab check "Editable menu shortcut keys".
Go to nautilus->File, hover over the shortcut, and press whatever you want it to be. It changes on the fly.
That must be the most unintuitive, non-obvious and cumbersome procedure that I have ever heard of. But I won't complain, at least it _is_ possible. Well, if you are in a Gnome environment it might be possible. Being in KDE I don't have a System menu (Well, actually, I do. But KDE and Gnome both are arrogant enough to call themselves "System".). I opened gnome-appearance-properties (don't ask how I found out the name of the executable) and from there Interface -> Editable Menu Shortcut Keys. However, now hovering over an item and pressing my desired shortcut does _not_ change it. So either I am in the wrong executable (very possible) or this cannot be configured outside a Gnome environment (I don't know about the feasibility of this).
It is a good idea to uncheck "Editable menu shortcut keys" once you've changed what you want to so that you don't accidentally re-assign key bindings.
Will do, thanks.
Nor can icons or toolbars be modified from what I understand. Not true. How do I assign a New Folder icon to Nautilus?
Icons are controlled via themes; customize the theme if you want to change this. Although I do think that is a strictly KDE mindset thing - there isn't any good reason to micro-manage such things; they are best controlled by their container [the theme]
All right, then, how exactly do I change this theme? I'm sure that I could google it, but I'd rather lazyweb it while I have your attention to continue the conversation. Just to clarify: I am not arguing but rather trying to figure out the Gnome mindset. I intend to spend a good few months (at least one KDE cycle) on Gnome and I find the communities differ greatly.
