Are you tired from directing the terminal for a specific directory ?

You may faced a nice option in KDE -when you press F4 ?

It opens the terminal directed to the active directory window.

does Gnome with its file manager Nautilus have one ?

the answer is YES.

you only have to type this command in the Terminal.

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

  • Open any directory or folder.
  • Right click you should find a new option called open terminal, choose it and enjoy … :D
