💡 Quick handy tip
Similar to what we see in a web browser; where we can access the address bar with CTRL + L, the nautilus address bar can also be navigated to using the same shortcut.
This works on the “save as” dialog too, which makes it useful when saving files with names. Just press CTRL+L to access the name part of the file.

🗓️ Tech Trivia
On January 15, 2001, Wikipedia was launched online. And I can correctly assume that it killed the encyclopedia business.
