In Ubuntu 13.04 with KDE desktop is there any way to do an action like "Open terminal" in Dolphin? Can it be done using a hotkey?

In the dolphin file manager just press the F4 function key and that will open a terminal inside dolphin, in the same directory.
To open a separate terminal window, press Shift+F4; or right-click in the directory contents pane and choose Actions > Open Terminal Here.
Note: As Dolphin is KDE-based the default terminal emulator it launches is Konsole, so if you only get an empty area instead of a terminal, try running
sudo apt-get install konsole

2Do you know of any way to make it put the terminal on the side instead of the top/bottom? Commented Jan 28, 2014 at 17:41

3You can also press
Shift+F4in Dolphin to open current directory in a separate terminal window, or click through Control -> Tools -> Open Terminal if you want to use mouse. Commented Feb 17, 2016 at 13:55 -
3This does not work for me. When I try to either enable it via the menu or F4 key, all that happens is the list window will either expand to the bottom of the main Dolphin window or contract. But, no actual terminal window will show up within the Dolphin app itself. I've seen it work before, not sure if I performed an update that broke this functionality or what...
