In Microsoft Windows
, when you are open File Explorer at a specific path, you can press Ctrl+N to open another file explorer in the same path. But in Ubuntu when I try Ctrl+N it opens Home Folder. How I can duplicate the same file browser window? (I use Ubuntu 14.04)
Another option: (Shortcut+Drag)
Still another way: (2 Clicks)
In the header bar: Right Click on current folder → Open in New Window
If you don't mind using right-click on any of the files in the directory instead of a keyboard shortcut, it can be done easily.
How to setup
~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts
new_window_here
(no extension in~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts
, and Make the script executableThe script
Right-click any file > Scripts > new_window_here
...to open a new nautilus window in the same directory.
