Changing button bar to address bar in Nautilus

Recently I got a new machine from my office and I had to install Ubuntu(14.04) on it. I am quite new to Ubuntu. Thus it took some time for me to familiarize myself with it. Coming from a windows background I was reluctant to use Ubuntu. However, now I find it really cool to work with. One thing I badly wanted is to get rid of the path bar and move to address bar, or to have both at once pretty much like in windows. I went through a lot of blog posts/forums and I figured that it is not possible to have both at once.

If somebody is wondering what am I talking about, I am talking about changing this;

to this;

This is possible to do with  Ctrl + L. However, it is not permanent. 

If you want it to be permanent you might need to switch some wires. Let's try that out;

To do this you need to install dconf. 

dconf is a low-level configuration system and settings management. Its main purpose is to provide a back-end to GSettings on platforms that don't already have configuration storage systems. It depends on GLib. It is part of GNOME 3 and is a replacement for GConf [1].

You need to install dconf-tools and update low-level configuration using dconf-editor [2]. This can be installed using Ubuntu software center or apt-get as follows;

$ sudo apt-get install dconf-tools
$ dconf-editor

dconf-editor

As per the preceding screenshot, navigate to org -> gnome -> nautils -> preferences and update the value for always-use-location-entry field.
