You are on the Gnome desktop and would like to get to a particular location on the disk, how would you do it. I am not sure of you, but for me it was first clicking on the home icon and then typing the path in the address bar of nautilus. Sometimes I also used the ‘Alt+F2′ option to get there.

But did you know that if you are on desktop you can use the quick access key ‘/’ to go to any location. Quite cool huh!! I was surprised at this useful feature. Do you know of any such hidden ways, let me know. Hope you found this interesting enough.

    I use Alt + F2 myself. But Gnome’s ‘/’ shortcut sounds very cool! This must be the only shortcut Gnome does better than my beloved KDE.

    You can do the same using gnome-do
