By default Alt+Home is the shortcut.

But you may change it to Super+E or anything like this if you want.

1. Go to System Settings.
2. Keyboard settings
3. Open "Shortcuts" tab.
4. Go to "Launchers"
5. Press on "Home Folder" and then press a key combination you want.

Answer 2

You can actually use that same keyboard shortcut by making a custom keyboard shortcut.

1. Open System Settings and go to Shortcuts and Gestures or Keyboard Shortcuts. It should be near the top-right.
2. Under the Custom Shortcuts tab, click Edit>Global Shortcut>Command/URL.
3. Name the new shortcut Nautilus.
4. Under the Trigger tab, click the input box and type WINKEY + E.
5. Under the Action tab type nautilus into the text box.
6. Save and close Settings and you should be done.

Tell me if anything can't be found. I'm using KDE right now, so things might be different. If something doesn't exist, I'll go into Unity to find it.

Press and the super Key(the key with windows logo) for about 3 seconds. This will show numbers over each item in the unity launcher.

Then the shortcut to open each of these items is super+NUMBER

By default the Home is locate under the dash directly then it will show number 1 then the shortcut will be:super+1.

Moreover when you open nautilus and you want to go back to your home then you can use the shortcut:Alt+Home
