Nautilus linux nautilus keyboard shortcuts ================================= Alt-{Left,Right} Back,Forward Ctrl-L Focus location bar Alt-Up Up a dir Alt-Home home dir Ctrl-N: open new window Ctrl-Shift-N: create new folder Ctrl-H: show hidden files Alt-Home: jump to home folder Alt-Enter: file / folder properties F9: toggle side-pane Alt-F1: launch applications menu Alt-F2: launch “run application” dialogue Ctrl-Alt - Right/Left arrow: move to the next virtual desktop Ctrl-Alt-Shift - Right/Left arrow: take current window to the next virtual desktopCtrl-Alt-D: minimize all windows, and gives focus to the desktop. Alt-Tab: switch between windows. When you use these shortcut keys, a list of windows that you can select is displayed. Release the keys to select a window. Ctrl-Alt-Tab: switch the focus between the panels and the desktop. When you use these shortcut keys, a list of items that you can select is displayed. Release the keys to select an item. Ctrl-Alt-L: lock the screen (it works in Ubuntu-I don’t know about other distros)\ Ctrl-L: shortcut for opening locations, by default the path is the home folder* A useful hint that I found on the excellent Fosswire blog: /: same as Ctrl-L but has the root (/) as default path* * both shortcuts can be used while you are on the desktop (no window active) And a suggestion: Ctrl-T: move to trash (in Nautilus) This is a dangerous key combination because many of us are used to press these keys in order to open a new tab. Because we all delete items using the Delete key, I recommend to deactivate this shortcut key. To do that, go to System » Preferences » Appearance » Interface. Select Editable menu shortcut keys and close the dialog box. Click on the Edit menu in the File Browser. Click the Empty Trash item (it has Ctrl-T as the keyboard shortcut) Press the Delete key to get rid of the shortcut. samba share =========== see Help/Linux/Samba/net_usershare.txt
