In the Linux version it pays to explore to the desired destination with a
command shell or a filesystem explorer, then copy the path to the clipboard.

In the Linux version, the PdDn key works as expected, but the PgUp key moves
correctly only the first time you tap it. After that it moves up just a line
each time. This appears to be a bug in Mono. Once we're able to confirm that,
and submit a bug report, information about the bug report will appear here.

surrounding the Mono project, I'm not sure it's worth trying to isolate a case
for a bug report to Mono.

Find/Search
-----------
Preventing random crashes at start-up and almost certain crashes while sorting
required modifying the code to be much slower for certain operations.
Unfortunately, when searching the list of jobs, this slower operation is
performed once for every keypress. This leads to very slow echo of the
characters as you type into the Search box. Just be very patient, and you will
see your results, along with what you've typed. If you are a hunt-and-peck
typist, and are looking for a package by name, it'll be faster to skip the
search, make sure that you have groups enabled, sorted by name, and type the
first letter of the package. That will immediately move to the first package
that starts with the same letter (this works on Windows, too).
