How to make Nautilus location bar editable?

In Thunar I could easily switch between Vista-style graphical location bar and editable textual location bar (which doesn't look so eye-candy but is far more convenient for me). Can I configure this in Nautilus?

Solution 1:

• If you want to enable location bar for current session then Press Ctrl+L

• To make it permanent you have to make changes in gconf-editor.Press Alt+F2 and type gconf-editor.
  

• Navigate to apps → nautilus → preferences and put a check mark in "always_use_location_entry".
  

Solution 2:

note for 11.10 >

"Note that as from Ubuntu 11.10 the setting is no longer in gconf but has moved to dconf. It is necessary to install dconf-tools then run dconf-editor and the setting will be found in org ➜ gnome ➜ nautilus ➜ preferences ➜ always-use-location-entry"
