I would like to associate a specific action in Nautilus (namely 'Open in Terminal') with a keyboard shortcut so that I don't have to use the mouse to open the current working directory in a new terminal.

The official documentation (see section Change keyboard shortcuts) states that this is possible and gives instructions on how to achieve it, but I can't get it to work. Please see the following image to better understand what I am trying to achieve:

I would like to assign a keyboard shortcut to the last item in the context menu, but the method described in the official documentation doesn't seem to work for me. Is there a secret to making it work?

    Unfortunately gtk accels is completely broken in gnome 3.16 (I mean for all apps: gedit, nautilus etc...). In theory, you should be able to customize the shortcuts via ~/.config/nautilus/accels e.g. to assign Alt+F5 to open-terminal you should have a line like: (gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ExtensionsMenuGroup/TerminalNautilus:OpenFolderLocal" "<Alt>F5") (note there's no leading ;). Alas, it no longer works...

  • What a pity! Yes, I already encountered the configuration file you mentioned, but changing it didn't have any effect on the accelerators. Hopefully the next Gnome will fix this quite annoying issue.

As pointed out by don_crissti, keyboard accelerators at present are defective in Gnome Shell. I will file a bug in Gnome's Bugzilla in the unlikely case that nobody has done so yet.

  • Well, if you haven't already filed a bug report... it's not a bug. See this commit.
