	I want a method to go to an specific folder without having to user
mouse, and being very fast. The location bar with <tab> is very fast.
But a solution like mozilla's link autocompletion inside html would be
nice too.

	Location bar is ugly imho. I need only a way to go to an specific
folder with keyboard and autocompletion. A proposal to do this would be:
	1. We have an option in menu to "open" a folder, with it's usual
shortcut (Ctrl+O).
	2. Nautilus raises a dialog for typing the target I want to open. This
dialog will be hintful, with autocompletion. In a way similar to the
behaviour of open file dialog.
	3. When I select a directory, the contents window changes. It would be
nice too if it changed when changing the target in the dialog, but it
would be very resource-hungry I suposse.
	4. Of course, if I use Shift+Ctrl+O, or something so, it would open
another windows with the target selected.

	Of course, the "open" dialog must handle remote folders (smb, ftp).
