Open terminal from nautilus by right click

Question

I use nautilus as my default file manager. Is there any way that I can customize it so that right click anywhere in the window gives an option to open the current directory in terminal. I have seen same feature in dolphin, wish I could do the same in nautilus too.

Answer 1

Install nautilus-open-terminal. In a terminal type:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

Once it installs, type nautilus -q && nautilus & to quit and reopen nautilus, and check the right click option.

Answer 2

I did the following:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal
nautilus -q

Then just click the file manager window, and then try right clicking anywhere and the option "Open in Terminal" is right there!

Answer 3

To open a terminal from Nautilus, you must install the package nautilus-open-terminal (sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal from the command line). In the context menu is the option to open a terminal in the current directory.
