Subject: Note down GTK itch

This has been a thorn in my side for a while, but I didn't know it was
so well documented.

+# GTK
+
+## File picker dialog
+
+When opening a file in a GTK program, starting to type a filename
+triggers a search instead of jumping to a matching file.  This is
+disorienting; instead of navigating the directory I see, everything
+suddenly vanishes, then a bunch of unrelated files start popping up
+one after another.
+
+It seems GNOME developer are not fond of the "type to jump" UX
+(cf. e.g. [[1]], [[2]]).
