Hi Giovanni:

Thanks for your suggestions regarding accessibility; I think that they
are of general "usability" interest.

I would suggest that you join the list "nautilus-list"
http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/nautilus-list
and post these suggestions, on this list they will get more discussion.

I believe that this feature is either available or planned...  but I am
not sure.
