Add “Open terminal here” right-click option to Nautilus

Install nautilus-actions

$ sudo yum install nautilus-actions

Run nautilus-actions-config as a regular user

$ nautilus-actions-config

Click “Add” to create a new action. Give it a name to show in the menu when you right click using the Label field. I’m using Terminal as an example, other terminal emulators may have the ability to open to a specific directory too. I found Terminal.svg in the rpm package, so I used that as the icon.

Label:

Open Terminal Here

Icon:

/usr/share/icons/hicolor/scalable/apps/Terminal.svg

Path:

/usr/bin/terminal

Parameters:

–geometry=97×66 –working-directory=%d

Click OK and Close. Now whenever you right click in Nautilus, you can open a terminal starting at your present working directory from nautilus. You could expand on this idea and create a run-from-command-line action too using the other variables available to nautilus-actions and as long as your terminal supports it.
