Split View
In Nemo, you can split main are into two. Press F3. This is very helpful when you are comparing two different folders at once.
New Tab
Nemo has multitab. Press Ctrl+T to open a new tab. In a new tab, you can browse different place. More tabs more places
New Folder
To create new folder, right click on main area > Create > New Folder. Or, click new folder icon on top toolbar. Or, press Ctrl+Shift+N.
Delete Folder
To delete a folder, click/select a folder and press Shift+Delete. This will delete folder and its content permanently. If you want to delete it temporarily (move it to “Recycle Bin”), right-click and select Delete. Or, just press Delete without Shift key.
Address Bar
Nemo has default Breadcrumb address bar. It's similar with Finder after all. It is an address bar with clickable button for every folder history. If you want normal address bar, press Ctrl+L. To revert it into Breadcrumb, press Ctrl+L again.
Places
If you are using Folder View, you can bookmark your favorite folder there. Just drag and drop your folder into Left Panel on Devices section.
Tree View
This is something similar with your Left Panel appearances on Windows. You browse folders by parent and child view. To enable this, click Tree View icon on bottom toolbar.
Hide and Show Hidden Files
Nemo hides hidden files by default. To show hidden files, press Ctrl+H. To hide them again, press Ctrl+H too.
Search
To search files, press Ctrl+F and type what do you want. In newer version of Nemo, it has incremental search. So, the results come directly. Doesn't wait to be finished first to show the result.
