➽ nemo:

  * The default in Linux Mint.

  * Nemo has same concepts in usage compared to Windows Explorer. 
      But Nemo visual appearance is similar to Mac OS X Finder.

  * Nemo sidebar items are called Bookmarks 
      and show in their own Menu in "Places" sidebar

      Add a Bookmark - 2 ways:

        - navigate *into* the folder,
            and then in top menu Bookmarks→Add Bookmark.
        - navigate *above* the folder, and drag the folder to 
            Bookmarks section of sidebar.

      Rename by right-click,
         or go to top menu Bookmarks→Edit Bookmarks 
      Reorder the Bookmarks there also.

      "Favorites" are a different thing and show in Tree view.

  * Nemo "Tree view" is an entirely different thing than "Show Places",
       not a different view of it.

  * Nemo can split main window into two, maybe helpful when comparing folders -
        Press Fn-F3.
  
  * Address bar: Ctrl switches btwn 
      clickable breadcrumb, and normal path views.

  * dot-files are hidden by default. Ctrl-H to switch show/hide.
