Linux shortcutkey to search specific file from a list of directory?!
Hi,
I'm the new user of linux/unix. Can I ask that anybody know how to use the linux/unix shortcut key to search a specific file from a list of directory?
For example, I know the file name that I want to search. But I forget which directory or location is my desired file put.Got any shortcut key or alternative way that allows me just type in my filename then it will show the directory or location of my desired file.
Thanks a lot for your suggestion and advise.
