💡 Quick Handy Tip
On the Nautilus file manager, you can undo an action like “Move to Trash”, “Copy”, etc. For doing this, simply click on the three-ribbon button and select “Undo Move”.
You can also use the keyboard shortcut “CTRL+Z” to do the same. To redo the undone action, use the shortcut “SHIFT + CTRL + Z”. Remember, you cannot undo if you deleted a file permanently.
