Is this true? I couldn't get it to work for me --jaminday \marginnote{If you click on a file or folder with both the left and right mouse buttons at the same time, keep holding and drag it to your destination folder. When you let go of both mouse buttons, a menu will appear asking whether you want to \emph{copy, move} or \emph{link} the item.}

Opening multiple \application{Nautilus} windows can be useful for dragging files and folders between locations. The option of \emph{tabs} is also available in \application{Nautilus}, as well as the use of {panes}.\marginnote{When dragging items between \application{Nautilus} windows, tabs or panes, a small symbol will appear over the mouse cursor to let you know which action will be performed when you release the mouse button. A plus sign (+) indicates you are about to copy the item, whereas a small arrow means the item will be moved. The default action will depend on the locations you are using.} When browsing a folder in \application{Nautilus}, to open a second window select \menu{New Window} from the \menu{File} menu. This will open a new window, allowing you to drag files and folders between two locations. To open a new tab, click \menu{File \then New Tab}. A new row will appear above the space used for browsing your files containing two tabs\dash both will display the directory you were originally browsing. You can click these tabs to switch between them, and click and drag files or folders between tabs the same as you would between windows. You can also open a second pane in Nautilus so you can see two locations at once without having to switch between tabs or windows. To open a second pane, click \menu{View \then Extra Pane}, or alternatively press \keystroke{F3} on your keyboard. Again, dragging files and folders between panes is a quick way to move or copy items.

Earlier, we mentioned that you can search for files on the computer by using the \menu{Search for Files} feature on the \menu{Places} menu in the top panel. You can also use the \application{Nautilus} browser to search for files, as explained above.

Now that you've been introduced to the \acronym{GNOME} desktop environment, let's take a look at customizing some of its features such as modifying the behavior of your panels, or changing the look and feel of your desktop.

The panels (currently sitting at the top and bottom of your screen) can be moved from their default positions to the sides of the screen, set to hide from view when not in use, and can change color. To access these features, right-click the panel you want to modify and select \button{Properties} from the pop-up menu. The \button{General} tab has options to autohide, position the panel, and change the panel size (width).

Use the \button{Orientation} drop-down box to select where you want the panel to be located, and underneath this you can set the desired width (in pixels). Note that the smallest width allowed is 20 pixels.
