Bug Description

Since 13.04, the F3 key to split the screen in Nautilus doesn't work. I understand this was removed because it didn't work with touch screens, but I (and many others) do not use touch screens, and I miss the functionality, which was quick and easy and useful.

Please restore it.

No, it wasn't removed because it didn't work in touch, who said that? Nautilus' developers (from GNOME/RedHat/etc) arbitrarily decided to remove it. Duplicate of bug #1173648
