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 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuFlavors so Mint is off-topic here as well. However, on [unix.se], a sister site to Ask Ubuntu, they're very good at all varieties of Linux and Unix, so you might be better off there. ;-) – Fabby Dec 29 '15 at 23:09
  • Thanks! Is it possible to migrate this question there? – LondonRob Dec 30 '15 at 08:49
  • Not that I'm aware of... Questions can only be migrated to the meta site here. – Fabby Dec 30 '15 at 08:50

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? – LondonRob Dec 27 '15 at 15:28
  • This answer was filed before the OP declared he is on a distribution other than Ubuntu. This procedure is successful on Ubuntu. – Luís de Sousa Dec 28 '15 at 07:50
  • 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" – Andiana Mar 07 '16 at 00:53
  • 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: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/ubuntu/nemo" – mike rodent Aug 25 '18 at 06:58
  • 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. – mike rodent Aug 25 '18 at 07:03
  • Does this still work in Ubuntu 20.04 and is this still the right way to install. I get the following warning suggesting it is not: " !!! For Nemo 3.x you'll need to use a different PPA: http://www.webupd8.org/2016/11/nemo-320-with-unity-patches-and-without.html " – Kvothe Nov 19 '20 at 17:38
  • I found the following more reliable and you can customize the key that should be used: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/253211/keyboard-shortcut-in-nemo-to-open-terminal-in-active-folder (Ubuntu 20.04) – Kvothe Nov 19 '20 at 17:45
