Figure 7.4 Nautilus Standard Window
To navigate between folders, use the drop-down menu in the bottom left corner of the
Nautilus window. Here, find all parent folders for the current directory up to the root
file system. Select the folder you want and open it in a new Nautilus window on top of
the old one. Open just the immediate parent of the current folder by clicking File →
Open Parent. To close these parent folders, click File → Close Parent Folders.
If you prefer a browser-like file navigation, switch to the Nautilus browser interface
by right-clicking a folder then clicking Browse Folder. A new Nautilus window opens,
providing the normal functionality but with a browser's look and feel.
To navigate folders and files, you can use the Back, Forward, and Up buttons as you
would in a Web browser. The functionalities and configuration options described in
Section 7.4.2, “File Management” (page 186) also apply to the browser interface.
7.4.2 File Management
Perform several tasks in Nautilus by simply dragging and dropping. For example, you
can drag any file from the desktop and drop it onto an open Nautilus window. If you
have two Nautilus windows open, you can drag a file or folder from one window and
drop it onto another. To copy an item, select the item, press and hold Ctrl , then drag
the item to a new location. Dragging text from an application to a folder window creates
a new text document.
