I've made a nautilus short cut for almost all of my common folders. But when I press the keys to use the shortcut the folder do open, but they only open in the background. I still have to make a few clicks to see them infront of me.  I want to configure my shortcuts so the nautilus folders show up on top of everything. How can I do that?   Currently I am only using the basic System Settings keyboard shortcut function.

I want to be able to "open in terminal" from any directory.  I have the nautilus-open-terminal package installed  I'm not sure what the problem is exactly: when there's only a couple of items in a directory I can just right-click in the empty space, see the context menu, and click "Open in Terminal".  But if there's enough items to create a scroll bar there's nowhere to right click for the current directory.  If I right click on the breadcrumbs I don't see "open in terminal". The same happens when I look at the "File" menu.  This means that if there's a scrollbar there's no way to open a terminal in the current directory - I need to go up a directory, find the directory I was just in, and right click on that to open a terminal.  If there's no way around this it would be just as good to have a key combo to open a terminal in the current directory (ctrl-alt-t opens a terminal in my home directory).  Thanks for your help!   edit: I'm using list view

Recursive search in nautilus 3.6 completely breaks my keyboard navigation. I often navigate network volumes, and typing to get directly to a folder and clicking enter was very quick. Now typing removes everything in the view and imposes a 30 second delay which is completely useless.  If it showed whats in the current directory immediately, and then searched it would be fine, but as it is now I just want to turn it off. I couldn't find anything in dconf-settings. Anyone know how to disable it?

In previous versions of Windows (95-7), you could tree folders in the Start Menu.  In other words, you could have the Start Menu\Applications folder (now "All Apps") and have folder work and folder games in it. Games would have a shortcut to Minecraft, while work would have a shortcut to Word. In previous versions, when selecting a folder, you could choose to pick a subfolder.  When I navigate to folder, I get 2 options. Go to games or work. Lovely.  Now that option is dust. There is no option to get something like that without software. It shows all of the applications A-Z and therefore will not do something like that. Only one folder is open/closeable but all the subfolders and their contents are just mashed up there. For example, if I had a folder named Folder: (like in the photo)  | -Folder **main folder**   | --Work **subfolder**   | }--Word **item**   | --Games **subfolder**   | }--Minecraft **item**   It would show like this:  ** **F** **   Folder &gt;   ** **G** **   And once I click Folder > it displays:  ** **F** **   Folder &gt;   Minecraft   Word     ** **G** **   So to make a long story short, how do I make Windows show the subfolders in Folder?   P.S.  If you can find a way to make Windows 10 short the applications by name like in Windows 8.1, that would be much appreciated.

How can I open a command prompt in current folder with a keyboard shortcut in Windows 7? Is there any way to implement this? I think Autohotkey could do this, but don't know how.

How do I configure Nautilus to open at my Documents folder instead of my home folder?  I've scoured this site and found answers instructing users to edit the /usr/share/applications/nautilus.desktop file, replacing %U with the path to the desired default directory. I've edited all the variants of nautilus.desktop in the said directory, but none of the edits has an effect. I've checked all the files after editing them to make sure that I saved the edit effectively, and all look good to me.   I've edited every file to read as follows:  Exec=nautilus --new-window /home/judy/Documents   I've also edited the org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop file, just to be sure, with no joy.   I'm running Ubuntu 15.10.  Note: if I enter nautilus /home/judy/Documents from the command line, Nautilus properly opens in the desired directory.  Is there a simple way that I can configure an icon in the launcher bar to run this command and have the Nautilus icon that looks like a metal file drawer?  Thanks. I'm pulling my hair out over this one.

I'm using xmonad, and I would like to open a nautilus window to a certain directory, because I like the convenience of browsing inside an encrypted zip file without unzipping it, which nautilus allows.   however, opening nautilus, even with a path argument starts a desktop on the monitor I'm using (There are 8 xmonad monitors) The desktop is inoperative and renders that monitor useless until nautilus is killed.  Is there any way to open just a nautilus window without any desktop starting?

I created a shortcut via "make link" option. When I enter to this shortcut's folder I can't see any folders above it so I can't easily navigate to them.  Is there a way to go one folder up in the GUI? Maybe a hotkey? (Can't do cd .. this time ^__^ ).      In Windows for example I am indeed able to navigate in the way I describe, here is a Win10 image that explains it:

When Gnome Files (nautilus) is in list view I sometimes still want to open the right-click menu that otherwise appears when you right-click into the empty space of a folder. (The one that lets you open the terminal etc.) Is that somehow possible?  Here a screenshot of the current situation: Where the menu of the corresponding file opens.

I have customized some of the shortcuts in System ▸ Preferences ▸ Keyboard Shortcuts.  How can I restore individual shortcuts to their default settings? I do not want to reset all of the shortcuts, just a few of my choice.

In prior versions, I would open Nautilus and check the statusbar, which would tell me how much free space there is. Now, the statusbar isn't shown by default. I know you can enable it from the View menu, but 99% of users won't do that (and I'd rather not do that, if possible). So, is there some new recommended way to keep tabs on hard drive usage? Or is there maybe some other method that I should have been using in the past but never noticed?

How to show hidden files in Nautilus 3.20.3 Ubuntu 16.10?

Until now I was using a "traditional" version of Nautilus: that that comes with Ubuntu 10.10. Now I'm using 3.6.3, included with Ubuntu 13.04 (most likely any recent version is equivalent for the scope of my question, anyway).  One major difference between the two is the search-as-you-type behavior: in classic versions of Nautilus, when you typed an input, the file with the closest alphabetical match would become the selected one, the eligible files/folders being restricted to the current directory.  The new behavior is to perform an optionally-global search instead.  Can one configure Nautilus to provide the previous functionality ?

On Ubuntu 16.04 LTS I have used simple keyboard shortcut to set property Always on Top (Nautilus window as example):   Alt+Space,    t After next Alt+Space or right mouse click I see that window was set to Always on Top.     In standard Ubuntu 18.04 LTS with GNOME Shell I can press Alt+Space:    but it does not react to t.  Seems to be a real .    How to enable such menu accelerators/mnemonics in standard Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?

I have been using Total Commander as a file manager on Windows for years. There is one feature I miss a lot in Finder: a shortcut to one specific folder.  Saying I have a folder ~/Downloads, ~/Dropbox, ~/Code, ~/Books. Is it possible to setup a customized keyboard shortcut for each of them?   In Total Commander you could do ctrl+D+1/2/C/B/... etc.
