OK, I guess it serves me right for picking a directory off the top of my head. How about something without a trivial solution, such as /usr/bin?
Right-click -> Add Entry, in Places panel. You can add whichever location you want, and by right-clicking the new location you can change the label to something more suggestive than "bin" :)
And when I have to access more than a handful of different (*gasp* NEW!) directories in rapid succession? Let me guess, there's some king of plasmoid that makes this easier, though I'd have to go to the desktop (minimize all windows or similar) to even see it. </sarcasm>
You could still type the directory name by typing Ctrl-L Ctrl-U /wherever/you/want Enter. No click needed.
Hardly intutive, and definitely not discoverable.
So do I. Actually I find a 80-column terminal easier than any graphical file manager without exception.
OK, I beg to differ. Konqueror is better in my opinion in almost every respect (loading/deleting can be a bit slow, but well worth it in most cases). However, I would agree that the terminal is easier to use than every other graphical file manager I have tried.
