From the terminal I can open the file manager using nautilus ., but the window opens behind the current terminal window (on my Ubuntu 14.04).

Is there a way to call nautilus from the terminal and bring the window to the foreground?

    I cannot reproduce this. My window manager is compiz. Can you mention which window manager you're using? It might depend on the window manager.

After adding comment here I checked askubuntu.com and found the answer there.

You need to install CompizConfig Settings Manager. Then go to General -> General Options -> Focus & Raise Behaviour and set Focus Prevention Level from Low to Off.

  • Just a clarification that the name of the package is actually the whole name: CompizConfig Settings Manager and that it can be installed via the Ubuntu Software Center
