Let us say I am viewing the /media/fun/videos/chucknorris folder in Nautilus. How can I configure Nautilus so by pressing a Key it opens a terminal and this terminal defaults opened directory is the folder am viewing in Nautilus (In this case the chucknorris folder). So if I open the terminal it should show me am in the /media/fun/videos/chucknorris directory.

Note that the terminal window should not be embedded in Nautilus, instead it should be another Window.

Just install nautilus-open-terminal.

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

Then you can open a terminal by right-clicking in your folder. (It will open in the right directory and in a separate window.

For a keyboard shortcut see the post on webupd8:
