They intentionally removed this feature years ago. It was possible to reenable via a dconf setting for a while but I believe that was also eventually removed.
So annoying.

    It's absolutely insanity that this feature was removed. I stopped using Nautilus because of this.

    Agree. I can understand GNOME not supporting infinite settings and customization, but since when are Linux users noobs?

    People using GNOME either never edited a Desktop entry, entered a manual path or did anything poweruser related, or they use 3rd party apps or do everything in the terminal.

    I dont get how a Linux Desktop can have so little support for anything.

    Needing extensions to restore basic features is not good UX. Like a clipboard manager, blurry shell, appindicators? Why?

    The only reason I use gnome is because the window dragging has a weird flicker with KDE and nvidia cards. In gnome it's way smoother. That and the pressing the super button for the fancy window animation, that one is really nice. I could live without the fancy animation (or with whatever KDE replacement that I'm sure it's good enough) if the driver issue wasn't a thing, though.

    Yes KDE has something similar and you can remap it with a command. TheLinuxExperiment had this for krunner once, its probably possible.

    GNOME is really nice in what it does. Simply that it doesnt do enough for me. There are cool extensions and I feel the community is just way bigger. The animations, dash to panel, blur my shell, make it very cool.

    Just the lack of so much like powerful apps is a nogo
