Ubuntu – Nautilus – How to duplicate the current window

nautilusshortcut-keyswindow

Sometimes I need to open the same directory twice.

If I try to open it from a bookmark, Nautilus sees it is already opened so it simply focuses it.

If I do Ctrl + N, the new window opens home.

Is there a simple way to duplicate the current Nautilus window (just keeping the same directory) ?

With Nautilus open in the folder that you want, right click on the folder tab, and choose open in New Window(in this example I'm opening the folder Downloads) see images below.

You can type in the terminal:

cd /home/myUser/some/long/path/to/a/directory

and then:

nautilus .

The above command will open nautilus in the folder /home/myUser/some/long/path/to/a/directory (the period is the current directory)

Or in the Terminal just type:

nautilus /home/myUser/some/long/path/to/a/directory
