I want to type something in console that will open some location (on example home dir) in already opened nautilus window. Is it possible?

No, I'm afraid you're asking for the impossbile.
You'd need dbus or something for that. Or an in-built management in Nautilus. Sadly as far as I know there is nothing like that available. (It won't separate it like n1t3 (Nautilus1 window, tab 3)).

2Yeah @aquarius. Comment on OP's question so he gets a notification as well. Sad thing about SU that the majority of the answers on the site get just outdated. – Apache – 2015-01-01T15:12:22.267
I know that Nautilus doesn't have such option build in. That's why I'm asking a question on "super user" :). When I click "open location in new tab" nautilus sends something somewhere. If I can send that something with a script (that is what I meant by "type something in a console) or simple program, I would then manage to add functionality that I find missing. So any direction in this topic can be useful for me. – klew – 2010-05-18T18:17:31.407
That's what I meant on managing. Well. I'll check the source code tomorrow and will report. – Apache – 2010-05-18T21:10:32.847
Did you find something? – klew – 2010-05-24T10:01:55.700
Nah, nothing. Maybe you should check #gnome on IRC as a last resort. Sadly there are no people usually on that room, that's why I parted from Gnome. (Okay just one of the soo many reason.) – Apache – 2010-05-24T10:12:44.960
it is a bit tricky but now is possible with this

nautiluscommand? – jweede – 2010-05-18T16:30:14.677Very often I have 20+ windows and many tabs within. It is simpler for me to browse through tabs, then looking for right window. And at least for me it would be much simpler (based on my experience with browsers, shells etc.) – klew – 2010-05-18T18:13:46.533
Does anybody have a solution for this? – klew – 2010-05-24T10:01:39.960
