unable to navigate on Nautilus controls with keyboard












1















I'm on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.



For ym work efficiency I prefer using keyboard instead of mouse/touchpad, henever possible.



I can open nautilus using the Files icon (using the launcher shortcut, in my case it's third icon from the top so I use [Win] + [3]).



But then I'm not able to navigate in the file system with keyboard.



The [Tab] key can be used to cycle over the controls in Nautilus window but it never reaches the actual file pane where the directories are.



How do I navigate using keyboard only?



Please let me know if my question is clear / need any more details.
