I want to have my default directory be ~/ unless there is another one specified by a command. Like, when I right click and choose "Open in Terminal", I want it to be the correct directory, but if I just do CTRL+Alt+T I want it to stay at ~/ instead. My terminal keeps defaulting to /usr/share/budgie-desktop/keycontrol instead of where I need.

Is /usr/share/budgie-desktop/keycontrol your $HOME directory? Check with getent passwd $USER | cut -d: -f6. Use vipw to edit the 6th field (HOME directory) of /etc/passwd, log out & in.

Is there a cd /usr/share/budgie-desktop/keycontrol in your $HOME/.bashrc? Remove it, or add

cd "$HOME"

to the file.
