Here’s something simple and useful I discovered in a tweet from @LinuxMusicToys.

When on the  Desktop, and with focus on the Desktop itself, typing / opens a Location dialog which allows you to open a file browser into any folder you specify. I found, too, that long folder names with spaces can be printed as is without quotes.

On a webpage, hitting / opens a very useful Find Text box.

I’ve only tested this in Linux Mint so far.
