It would be really fast to open most used folders by an application finder or something like that. It worked quite well in windows pressing win+r and type name of a folder shortcut in System32 folder.



Is it possible to do something like that in Xubuntu too?



E.g. Win+R to open application finder (or something similar) and type "Do" to open dowloads folder?



How would you do that? Now I need to open default folder and then click to a left panel. I understand it's easier to assign a shortcut to each location but that's not managable if you have many locations. I don't really like docks neither because Cairo always got stucked and did some troubles to me...



How would you solve this problem?



Thanks in advance.

Well, solution that actually works immediately is to use "custom actions" in Application Finder preferences.



Pattern: name_you_want_to_type
Command: pcmanfm '/home/user/folder/folder'


Works like a charm.



So you can easily "rename" applications too.



Pattern: writer
Command: /usr/bin/wps %f


(for Kingston Writer, e.g.)



Done.
