I found the path with button really unconvenient, I would prefer something that can change dynamically, like in Windows. It seems it is not possible, so I changed it to fully text path with the command:

gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true

However, this does not apply to the Open Folder or Open File windows. How to make the change apply here too?

Just bookmark the folder. And shortcut will be in left pane. The button is on the top bar.

In the File Open dialogs, you cannot have a location bar displayed by default. Hit Ctrl+L to display the path bar in order to enter/paste a file path.

To navigate with the mouse, you need to transverse directories in the file list, or use the left bar to quickly go to a point.

For folders you frequently need, you also create a bookmark. Such bookmark appears in the left pane of the file manager and any file dialog. You can create the bookmark in the File manager with the shortcut key Ctrl+D. In both the File Manager and file dialogs, you also can bookmark a folder from the right-click menu. The right-click menu is also accessible through the keyboard shortcut Shift+F10 while the item is highlighted.

So, there is no way to display the `Ctrl` + `L` prompt by default?

See the first sentence in my answer. Please accept the answer if it resolves your question, even if it does not resolve your concern.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
