+ <title>Show the directory path with text rather than buttons</title>
+
+ <p>By default, the <gui>Location Bar</gui> of the file browser uses buttons
+ to show you which folder you are viewing. In some cases, though, you may not
+ want to not use the buttons, and you may want to type the directory path
+ with text instead. <app>Files</app> allows you to do this, either
+ termporarily or permanently.</p>
+
+ <steps>
+ <title>To temporarily set the <gui>Location Bar</gui> to allow text
+ entry:</title>
+ <item>
+ <p>Press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>L</key></keyseq>, or select the
+ <gui>Menu Button</gui> in the top-right corner of the window, and select
+ <gui>Enter Location</gui>.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>The <gui>Location Bar</gui> will display the path to the current
+ directory as text.</p>
+ </item>
+ <item>
+ <p>Type the path to your desired directory, and press <key>Enter</key>.
+ </p>
+ </item>
+ </steps>
+
+ <p>When you press <key>Enter</key>, the file browser will show you the
+ location that you entered, and the <gui>Location Bar</gui> will change back
+ to using buttons.</p>
+
+ <note style="tip"><p>If you want to show the buttons in the
+ <gui>Location Bar</gui> without pressing <key>Enter</key>, press
+ <key>Esc</key>. The <gui>Location Bar</gui> will revert to showing buttons
+ without changing the current directory.</p></note>

+ <title>Permanently set the directory path to allow text entry</title>
+
+ <p>You can set <app>Files</app> to permanently show the directory
+ path as text by entering the following command into a terminal window:</p>
+
+ <p><cmd>gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true</cmd></p>
+
+ <p>To reset the <gui>Location Bar</gui> to use buttons, enter this command
