I'm currently working with Atom, and sometimes I want to open a terminal on the directory my working file is. To do this, I usually have to open the folder in nautilus (right clicking the file in atom) and then I open a terminal on that directory from nautilus (right click).

I wonder if there is a way to open the terminal in the file directory without having to open nautilus first.

Try this package, I think it has exactly what you want.

Also, I suggest you to install term3 package. It works great for me, and I just don't have to bother with switching the windows as the terminal window is inside the atom editor.

Good luck!

I use the terminal-plus package to open my terminal from within the Atom text editor. You can see the package in action in this short video clip I made here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cFAzqvYoHJs&t=11m14s.

After installing the package, to start the terminal within Atom you can use the GUI or use cmd-shift-t on Mac or ctrl-shift-t on Windows/Linux to bring up a terminal in the editor. To spawn another terminal session you repeat the previous command.

An option could be Platformio IDE Terminal (terminal package for Atom).

Some ot their features are:

  • Terminal Naming
  • Color Coding
  • Sorting
  • Insert selected text
