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.

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.

1there is no need to log out and log back in. just go to terminal and write $ sudo killall -9 nautilus and once again writing $ nautilus works fine. May 10, 2013 at 15:39

I can't find this package in the 17.10 repos, however in default Nautilus if I go one level up in the directory hierarchy, I can right-click the folder and there is "open in terminal" option.– jenaMar 6, 2018 at 18:56

According to top answer in the linked duplicate question, there is another package in the new Ubuntu versions -

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!
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.
