How can I browse a folder currently open in nautilus in the terminal?

Question

I would like to be able to to this easily, in all of the following ways:

• Keyboard shortcut
• Right-click
• Drag a folder into an open terminal (with a certain mouse button)
• Drag the title bar into an open terminal (with a certain mouse button)

How can this be done?

Answer 1

You can install the package nautilus-open-terminal that provides a new context menu item in Nautilus to open the current folder in a terminal.

Answer 2

Check out Nautilus Terminal. It essentially creates a mini-terminal window in each Nautilus window. Comes in handy often.
