Agreed. yaztromo identified the frustration well. I've been living with this in Mint Cinnamon for years, and still can't seem to get used to it. Thanks for the Alt+N shortcut (works in English/US version). Maybe that'll help me stop cursing at my computer every time I save a file.

Returning the focus to the filename after using the mouse (or touchpad) to navigate into a folder would be ideal. The only reason to use the find is when input is solely from keyboard.
