On Ubuntu if you press the key combination: Alt+F2 the Run Application dialogue window will appear (You can think of this as the “Run” dialogue from Windows but better!) Now you can run any application by just typing the name of it. For example if you type
nautilus
you’ll get the file browser program.

Even better lets say you want to modify a file/folder were you don’t have permissions as the logged in user, so you want to use root to edit    files/folders you can run the application as root by typing
gksudo nautilus
instead.

If you’re like me you’ll love this since it’ll save you clicks here and there.
