Hello, I was wondering if I could change what's in "My Computer" section in Nemo Posts: 2

file manager (see picture). Specifically I'd want to add a shortcut to Videos folder
there, and remove Desktop shortcut since I don't even use it.
I use cinnamon DE.

edit: It turns out I can just drag & drop Videos folder there, I didn't know this was
this easy lol. Still, I want to remove "Desktop" from there.

The keyboard hotkey way is ctrl+b as you're dealing with " bookmarks " in this Posts: 3322

case, however ( and someone correct me if I'm wrong other than the whole " hide
desktop icons..visually removes the " Desktop " selection from the left part of the
Nemo pane window ), I don't think you can remove Desktop selection from Nemo

I use a keyboard hotkey combo of super+s to execute the following script that
toggles desktop icons to be shown or hidden

CODE: SELECT ALL

#!/bin/bash
# NAME: toggleIcons
By continuing
# Script to use this
to toggle website, you consent
showing/hiding to the
of desktop use of cookies
icons. in accordance

if [[ "$(gsettings get org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons)" == "tr
then
gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons false
notify-send -u normal -t 1000 "setting to false"
else
gsettings set org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true
notify-send -u normal -t 1000 "setting to true"
fi

If you'd rather have separate " hide" versus " show " desktop icons executables....
just copy either of these commands into a text file or set them as a keyboard two
button command deal in your Keyboard , Shortcuts , Custom Shortcuts
on the left....keybinding(s).

gsettings get org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons true

gsettings get org.nemo.desktop show-desktop-icons false
