Add shortcut to 'Open in Terminal' in Nemo's menu

[Darkmaster006]

Hey there! So what I want to do is pretty simply, I think. I've used KDE Neon for some time and it has a shortcut (Shift+F4 I think) for the option 'Open in Terminal' in the Files (Dolphin) menu. Is there any way I can configure a shortcut for the 'Open in Terminal' option for Nemo? This'd be really useful, thanks a lot. I would also like to know what was the shortcut to open a terminal in the bottom of Nemo, which also was a thing but I don't remember its shortcut. Thank you.

F4 toggle terminal in the top pane (if you installed Nemo terminal plugin). Otherwise you need to customize.

What do you mean? No, I don't have Nemo Terminal installed, so I must've confused it with KDE Neon, where F4 does get you to the terminal in the same window. What I want, though, is to make a shortcut for the 'Open in Terminal' option that appears when you use the right click menu in Nemo. Thank you for the help.

"Me too." I would like the shortcut. Setting up a custom key binding for gnome-terminal is easy, but there does not seem to be a "use current directory" argument for the launcher like there is %f for "this file" or %u for URL.

However, it is possible to reduce the clicks from two to one by adding an icon. In Nemo choose:
Edit > Preferences > Toolbar > Open in terminal

Is it possible to change color in nemo-terminal?
Dark blue on black is almost unreadable

Why not right click in a folder? Then you can open a terminal

Sorry for some delay, here is how to create a shortcut to open the terminal in the current Nemo directory:

Code: Select all

mkdir ~/.gnome2/accels
touch ~/.gnome2/accels/nemo

and insert this line in ~/.gnome2/accels/nemo file

Code: Select all

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/DirViewActions/OpenInTerminal" "F4")

You can change "F4" for another suitable key

I have colors exactly as configured in my gnome-terminal profile, use colors from system theme is off

I realize you are asking for a shortcut. You can also change the settings in Nemo to let it execute an executable text file by just double clicking it. <nemo><edit><preferences><behaviour> and check 'Run executable text files when they are opened'.
Oh, you want the terminal to open and stay open I guess..

I have it off too, using user defined colors, but what I get get is this:

maybe it's a matter of theme.

maybe it's a matter of theme.

did you try to change built-in scheme in the terminal preferences, for example, to Green on black and experiment with uncommenting relevant lines in .bashrc

I tried different schemes, which changed nothing.
I love my .bashrc at it is
It's not worth the journey, I have no problem to RK and select "Open in Terminal".
Thank you for your effort.

This works like a charm, amazing! Thank you so much.
EDIT: What if I want to have it in 'Ctrl+F4' for example, though? Is it only possible to map it to a single key?
