Question

Is there a quick way to open command window from file explorer? There is a shortcut in Windows 8 like "Open commmand window here".

Yes indeed, just install nautilus-open-terminal:

sudo apt-get install nautilus-open-terminal

Then, log out and log back in and you'll have a new option when you right-click in any nautilus directory.

Only drawback to this nautilus extension is that it can not be set to open terminal like tilda (askubuntu.com/questions/354890/…). But apart from that it works great.

That context menu is standard in xfce.

You should be able to open a terminal window from anywhere using Ctrl+Alt+t on the keyboard.

It doesn't opens a terminal from my current directory but main directory.

I like Guake. It does a Quake-like drop down terminal using F12, but it opens at / and not at the current directory.
