What you can do

  • The sidebar lists Home, Recent, Starred, Network and Trash, then your bookmarks, then any drives. F9 hides and shows it.
  • The path bar shows where you are. Click any folder in it to go there; the ⋮ at its end has the menu for the folder you're in.
  • Along the top: Search, the main menu (≡), Back and Forward, then Switch view, View options (▼) and Close.
  • The status bar at the bottom counts the items here and how many are selected, and shows a copy's progress while it runs.
  • Rest the pointer on any button to see what it does and its shortcut.
