Me too I still don't agree that the saved space of this button was worth
removing it. New users often complain about not being able to edit the
path. They never find Ctrl+L themselves. But I do agree that there might
be a better gui element than a button with a pencil on it.

Since Unity is "now something completely different"(tm), I think we
should continue this discussion upstream on gnome.org.

Title:
  [FFe] Toggle button for Nautilus location field gone

Status in Nautilus:
  Won't Fix
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: nautilus

  Nautilus, version 1:2.29.1-0ubuntu2 0 installed in
  Lucid Lynx alpha, updated as of 01/16/2010

  Icon or button to toggle between the little "boxes" view, and the text
  view where you can type path or ssh or whatever, of the location field
  is missing.  The right Ctrl-L combination does not work to toggle the
  version of the field (the left Ctrl-L combination still works, though
  it took me a very annoyingly long time to find that out).

  Expected behavior:
  Toggle button should be there and be OBVIOUS and either Ctrl-L should work to toggle field.  Nautilus MUST have a location field that a directory path can be typed into or pasted into, as with a web browser.  Without this Nautilus would be nearly useless [for me] - I would switch to a different file browser or out of Gnome all together.  It's a show-stopper.
