How to access files (documents, drives..) in i3wm?

I am new to i3wm, so would like to know which command to use to access the files on my system.


Solution 1:

What "Ravexina" suggested is correct, although I would suggest that after Mod + D, i.e from dmenu try using nautilus --no-desktop. This will get rid of that pesky desktop that opens up every time you open nautilus.

Solution 2:

Press Meta + D to make "dmenu" appear, then type in nautilus and press enter, a new window will came up and you will have access to your files.

dmenu

Depend on your configuration Meta could be Alt or SUPER (Win) keys.
