FILES ( how to create file, how to open path )

I am new with Linux.

I use “Files” for browsing trough directories.

BUT, there it’s look like 2 very important functionality is missing from this program.

1. Why it’s impossible to copy/paste PATH and open folder what i need ?

Lets say i want to open /usr/share/defalts/httpd

Why i cant just copy paste this “link” in to “FILES”

  • and open this folder with 1 click.

why i need instead of it, just go to “other locations” then click on “usr” then on “share” then on “defaults” and e.t.c.

WHY ?


  1. thing…

WHY it’s imposible to create FILE right from FILES program ? Why i need to go and open up Text Editor - then create file and then pick location where i need to save this new file to…

I am understand - all is possible to do from command line…
BUT AGAIN : if i am already in the “FILES” programm, why i need to go to command line, and create file, and then go back go “files”…


Maybe i am missing something … Please help me.

To 1:
Ctrl+l and paste the path.

It seems your question would be appropriate to ask to the upstream nautilus project, since it is a usage question.
