In Windows you can type Super+e to launch the file explorer. I find this really useful, particularly because almost every action I take starts with search for a file or folder.Is there an equivalent keyboard shortcut to launch Nemo in Linux Mint? (In an ideal world, there'd also be a way to run a file/folder search from the keyboard)
Keyboard shortcut to launch Nemo
linux mint;keyboard shortcuts;nemo
I do not know the exact answer to your question. But this may help.I am using Fedora and not Mint however I still believe this should work.There are different shortcut keys assigned for a particular type of command execution.You can find them in your System -> Preferences -> [System] ->Keyboard Shortcuts.You will also see various different kind of keys (symbols) used in there likeXF86Mute for Audio Mute, XF86Calculator for Calculator. These  i think are related to the special keys which comes in your PC/laptop. If you are not able to determine the one for opening the HOME folder or the SEARCH button just change it in there like i changed SEARCH for Windows Key + S and for HOME DIR i made it Windows Key + H.
