I use Gnome and have set the same shortcuts, it's great but it takes a while for the file manager to open and respond, for example. Windows Explorer (especially under XP) just flies in comparison.

By the way, why are you using F6? The standard shortcut is ctrl+l, as far as I know, and it's much closer than F6.

Gnome is slow... I use Rox as a file manager. I'm used to F6 because it worked on all platforms. Ctrl+I doesn't work on a Mac. Strangely, F6 still work on the Mac, but not on Linux.

Command-i should work, though, no?
