Simple instructions for adding a shortcut to nautilus which opens a terminal at the current location

Nautilus_Terminal_Shortcut.md

I copied this from "RobotMan" on http://askubuntu.com/a/696901

I added a new feature to Nautilus with the precious help of the maintainers.

This new feature allow you to map custom keyboard shortcuts to launch the scripts in the scripts folder ( ~/.local/share/nautilus/scripts ).

So, when you add an executable in that folder it will appear in the right-click context menu, but now if you create a special configuration file ( ~/.config/nautilus/scripts-accels ) you can assign a shortcut to it.

For example make a script called Terminal with the following content:

#! /bin/sh
gnome-terminal

Now create (or edit) the ~/.config/nautilus/scripts-accels file adding the following line:

F4 Terminal

Restart Nautilus and when you'll press F4 key you'll open a new terminal window in the current directory.

Note: if you select one or more files, their names will be passed as parameters to the executable. Your script can also have access to many information through environment variables.

There is also a gui to manage these shortcuts: https://github.com/echo-devim/nautilusaccelsmanager

Thanks, @dreua!!! I did not know about this feature!!!

Now, I can access my scripts (https://github.com/cfgnunes/nautilus-scripts) using the keyboard! 😊

Moreover, I will configure to open the VSCode in the current directory more easily!
