Nautilus shortcuts


  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Application: Nautilus
Although most file managers these days are designed to be used with the mouse, it's also useful to be able to use the keyboard sometimes. Nautilus has a few keyboard shortcuts that can have you flying through files:
  • Open a location - Ctrl+L
  • Open Parent folder - Ctrl+Up
  • Arrow keys navigate around current folder.
You can also customise the file icons with 'emblems'. These are little graphical overlays that can be applied to individual files or groups. Open the Edit > Backgrounds and Emblems menu item, and drag-and-drop the images you want.
