Better behavior of 2 panels in Nautilus

If I turn on 2 panels in Nautilus (press F3) in "Compact" view and some of the files or folders have longer names than the width of the window, the horizontal column position jumps when the cursor moves in the list (or if the cursor is on the first item and a user presses the up arrow key).
Column may start more in the left, so that half of icons is not visible. I am not sure if it is a feature to display end of the file name or it is a bug.
There are also problems when users go with the cursor from the right column to the left column and decide to rename a file. The textbox is displayed cut from the left, so users can't see even the beginning of the file name which they are renaming.
It would be also suitable to support shortcuts (F5 - copy, F6 - move, TAB - switch between panels) as it is usual in file managers. Because if we have 2 panels in Nautilus, it is difficult to switch between them or manage files by keyboard.

Nautilus - left, right arrows

I would like to improve the keyboard controling of Nautilus.
When Nautilus displays folders and files in "Compact" view, there might be more columns shown because the whole list of folders and files is too long and cant't fit to the window.
You are able to move the cursor with arrow keys. Usually we have the right hand on arrow keys and index finger on enter key. Imagine that you have 3 columns in Nautilus and your cursor is in the middle of the second column. You want to move the cursor to the second item in the first column because it is a folder and you want to get into.
In case of usual file managers, I would press left (to get to the first column), left (to get to the first item), down (to get to the second item) and enter key (to go into the folder itself) with only one hand without any need to move hand around the keyboard. It is very fast this way.
Unfortunately, Nautilus does nothing when I am in the first column and press the left key. The same situation is when I am in the last column and press the right key. I would expect that the cursor will go to the last item, but Nautilus doesn't do anything again.
