You do, which is dumb, it should be doable by mouse or really really easy to find. It shouldn't require Googling or hunting. Ctrl+L is listed on page 2 of the keyboard shortcuts for Nautilus when it's arguably such a basic thing that at very least it should be in the stupid hamburger menu. Keyboard shortcuts should be a shortcut not the only way to do something.


It's the same shortcut as in all browsers, same for Ctrl+T or Ctrl+W that operates on tabs (Yes Nemo has tabs). The same way a browser is also a file crawler and viewer. It's the same paradigm. So no definitely not dumb.


What browser requires you to hit Ctrl+L to enter an URL? I'm not saying the choice of Ctrl+L is dumb, but the choice that the only way to enter a path is Ctrl+L.


And in KeepassXC it's lock database, which is infuriating when it's your muscle memory for "focus that primary thing you type into" and your unlock password is long.
