For example, `cd ` will enter to the directory. Even better use is with the files. Let's say you have a deb file to install. You type part of it and drop it like this: `sudo apt install ` It will give you the absolute path of the deb file. ![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/nautilus-terminal-drag-n-drop.gif) Give it a try. --- ## 🤣 Meme of the week Do you agree? ![](https://itsfoss.com/content/images/2023/07/meme2.png) --- ## 🗓️ Tech Trivia On July 4, 1956, MIT's Whirlwind became the first ever computer to allow user interaction through a keyboard.
