Nautilus has the ability to assign a keyboard shortcut to open a terminal at the current folder.

Is this possible in Nemo (I have version 2.6.7, running on Linux Mint 17.2)?

  • We're sorry, but this site is all about Ubuntu and its official derivatives as posted on wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFlavors so Mint is off-topic here as well. However, on Unix & Linux, a sister site to Ask Ubuntu, they're very good at all varieties of Linux and Unix, so you might be better off there. ;-)

You need to install the nemo-terminal package for it to work. You can get it from the Webupd8 Nemo PPA. Add it to your sources and install the terminal extension:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/nemo
sudo apt-get install nemo-terminal

  • Good news: nemo-terminal is already available by default in my distro (Mint 17.2). Bad news: it doesn't do anything when I press F4. Could a logout be needed perhaps?

  • This answer was filed before the OP declared he is on a distribution other than Ubuntu. This procedure is successful on Ubuntu. Dec 28, 2015 at 7:50
  • I tried it and success. After running above two commands, you can Right click in the Nemo window, and you will see the "Open Terminal"

  • Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3: nemo-terminal package is not installed. When I tried the above add-apt-repository I got a very strong message: "Only use this PPA in Ubuntu. Don't use it in Linux Mint! More info: launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/nemo" Aug 25, 2018 at 6:58
  • However, installing just going sudo apt-get install nemo-terminal then means that you can at least emulate right-click (shift-F10) when focus is on a directory, and this context menu then contains an item "Open in Terminal" which it didn't before. Aug 25, 2018 at 7:03
