#Open terminal ubuntu shortcut how to
I can expand my answer and add a more detailed explanation on how to create a custom context menu entry in Thunar. You can specify the command to execute, which parameters to give it and on which kinds of files/directories to show it. I added an "Open as root" for directories myself. As an example, there is "Open a terminal here" included. The file manager Thunar (part of the Xubuntu/XFCE DE) even provides a feature to simply create user defined tasks that appear in the context menu. The file manager Nemo (part of the Cinnamon DE) has a built-in context menu option to both "Open as root" and "Open in a terminal". Here is a small overview about the three file managers I know: Next, add cd, so that the whole line is cd '/home/serg/bin'. Drag and drop the folder you want to access into terminal, and add cd to the path.įor instance, if I want to access bin directory in my /home/serg/ directory, i would drag that directory to terminal and it would appear as '/home/serg/bin'. Alternative, use run dialog to launch gnome-terminal -working-directory= and paste whatever you copied after = sign.ĭrag and drop: Drag the button/tab (not sure how it's called) into terminal, add cd in frontĪnother way: Open the file manager and terminal. Cut that out with Ctrl X, and paste into terminal with Ctrl Shift V or right click. You might be more interested in other file managers that support this option out of the boxĪs a workaround you could try the following:Ĭtrl+ L willopen the text filed for entering address, with the current working directory highlighted.
Technically nautilus, the default file manager, doesnt have open terminal here option, but there is a plug in for that in the repositories. Will work for other file managers that don't support this option,too
Sure, it is not a right click type of thing, but it works and can be implemented quickly. IMHO, this is as "native" as it gets and doesn't require additional installation. Terminal should pop-up with the directory that you told the dialog to open. Lauch the shortcut you just created and paste the address with Ctrl+ V in to the dialog. Copy the address of your current directory with Ctrl+ X. Now, when you are in some directory in nautilus, press Ctrl+ L to open address bar. OPENDIR=$(zenity -entry -text="Type or paste address") gnome-terminal -working-directory="$OPENDIR" &īind that script to a shortcut, for instance Ctrl+ Alt Create a simple script opendirectory.sh with the following contents #!/bin/sh
