Shortcut key cmd to open current folder's Terminal

Open a new thread and ask “How can I remove ɢɴᴏᴍᴇ and install Plasma”.

This thread is about Nautilus and opening the terminal in the current folder. We haven’t answered that, but someone who uses ɢɴᴏᴍᴇ will.

Don’t install KDE Plasma next to ɢɴᴏᴍᴇ, that will only complicate things, as they will conflict.

Someone should guide you through the process, as there is plenty of steps you can mess up. Might be easier in your case to just reinstall EndeavourOS with KDE Plasma.

before installing should i have to delete the current one ??

OK sure

If you’re currently on a fresh install, you can also just do a clean re-install.

LOL, this thread. The OP asked how to open a terminal, now he is going to reinstall the OS. I think we need to slow down a bit :rofl:

Sorry Bro i was too mucn sucked by Gnome so :rofl: :sweat_smile: :rofl:

I’m sure it’s possible to do what you want in ɢɴᴏᴍᴇ, it’s a pretty basic task. Someone who uses ɢɴᴏᴍᴇ will show up in this thread and answer your question.

OK then what should i do now should i close or delete this thread

No, just be patient a bit :slight_smile:

Speaking as a noob, Cinnamon or Budgie will be less overwhelming than Plasma for customizing, and imho is a little more intuitive coming from gnome. But I agree Plasma is one of the most versatile and customizable DE out there

Hello,

I don’t see what you’re looking for, what do you mean exactly with “current folder’s terminal” ?
Open the current folder in your terminal in the file manager or the current folder in the file manager in the terminal ?

I believe he meant “when I am browsing through a directory with Nautilus, I want to hit a special Nautilus keyboard shortcut to open my terminal with said directory as the working directory.” Usually, this is done by right clicking to bring up a context menu and then clicking “open in terminal” or something. But the OP wants to do it with a keystroke.

If I remember, Nautilus is not easy for installing/creating extensions/custom actions compared to others such as Thunar or Caja.

Personally, I prefer to use a fuzzy finder for everything. With fzf and fd, I can have a terminal open to any directory from anywhere in my environment.

In Thunar, I occasionally open a terminal in the selected directory with a custom action which contain a simple command : terminator --working-directory=%F, I can also set a shortcut.

I don’t use find/fd + fzf for everything, I have one fuzzy search in Ulauncher, a function equivalent in the terminal (fd+fzf+xdg-open) and another one for grepping in files and opening in nano if needed, that’s it.

This is neat. A ready-made fuzzy finder. I didn’t know about this back then so I had to write everything myself. :sweat_smile:

My scripts work pretty much the same except it’s uglier. :rofl: It’s just an i3 keybinding that pulls up fzf in a terminal window.

I’m bad in shell scripting, but a simple function is not too difficult :

fzopen() {
fz=$(fd -H -tf -td --search-path / | fzf --border=bold --delimiter / --with-nth -4..-1 -e -q $1)
       if [ -z $fz ] ; then
         echo " Stopped !"
           else
	       xdg-open "$fz" &> /dev/null
	   fi
}

That’s the easy part (not that the rest of the script is difficult). Due to my peculiar workflow, mine needs to examine mime types with xdg-mime query and then decide what to do based on the result. For instance, I prefer to launch text/html in Neovim (not the graphical neovim, but inside an actual terminal emulator) instead of a web browser. And since I have a dedicated workspace for Neovim for my window manager, I need to assign the correct WM_Class property to the terminal widow containing that Neovim session. Also, when I open source code files through the fuzzy finder, I want it to open with Neovim and set Neovim’s working directory to the root of its git repository (if the source file does reside inside a git repo). The script also takes care of that.

Plus a bunch of other small functionalities like clipboard integration, opening a terminal if the selected file is a directory, etc. etc.
