Open in Terminal shortcut, how?

Post by Epicfeil » Wed Oct 02, 2013 9:05 am

Hello, i do know there is a shortcut for opening a terminal but that is not what i was looking for. When you right click into a folder there is an option — > open in terminal , it opens a terminal with the current folder path youre on. Is there any way to set a shortcut for that specific command? thanks

Think what he is wanting is a key shortcut to open a terminal in a folder like /home/username/Downloads if he has that Folder open in the File manager

While its possible im sure with a bit of scripting. Not sure its possible for it to recognize what folder you have open on your desktop in Nemo/Natulius/Dolphin/Whatever File manager you use.. Could be but one with better scripting ablilities would need to answer that

Well your hand is on the mouse so right click might be faster.. But that said there might be a bash command idk. I havent tried the normal terminal shortcut either idk if that opens it up to default or folder if one is active.. Im guessing default.. There might be a way to script maybe could do like some form of command to do like ctrl alt t 1 or something idk to desginate your most used folders

Now something maybe your not aware of is the tab in terminal.. If you want to goto say like /Downloads/firefox ((Im just making a folder up)) when you open up typing Down then pressing tab will complete Downloads or give you other choices if you have several then type fire then push tab again.. Not the best solution least something that might help speed things up before a good shell scripter could chime in. keystroke example ctrl alt T ((open a terminal i think thats the right command)) then type cd Down ((push tab key)) fire ((push tab key)) ((push enter key)) would set the working directory to /home/username/Downloads/firefox

How to Open a Terminal in Linux Mint

The Linux terminal is one of the most used tools of the system. In it, we will be able to do any kind of task in a fast and often easier way. But many users new to Linux do not know how to use it or even open it. Therefore, we have prepared this post for you to learn how to open a terminal in Linux Mint.

How to Open a Terminal in Linux Mint

Linux Mint has several methods to open a terminal. These methods are quite simple to use, but are most useful when we know when to use them.

Method 1: Using the keyboard shortcut

One of the main advantages of Linux Mint is that it is a novice-oriented system. This causes it to have key combinations aimed at improving productivity.

That is why when the system has started, and you see the desktop, you just have to press the key combination CTRL + ALT + T and you will be shown the terminal.

You can also use this key combination when you are using the system in other tasks, such as using the web browser and so on.

This method is widely used by everyone who likes productivity and keyboard shortcuts. In addition to this, you can use it to save time while using the same keyboard.

Method 2: From the main menu

Although the other method is quick and easy, we might be using the mouse a lot, and therefore it is not convenient to use it.

For this, we can open a terminal using the main menu. In the case of Linux Mint, we can do it immediately when we open it since it is hosted in the favorites section.

How to Open an Image in Linux Mint 20 Terminal

This article is especially targeted to the users who are fond of the Linux command-line interface (CLI) i.e. the users who wish to do everything through the Linux terminal. We generally use a GUI-based application to view images on any operating system, however, Linux provides us with the flexibility to even open the images from within the terminal. This article will discuss the two different methods of opening an image in the Linux Mint 20 terminal.

Methods of Opening Images Directly in Linux Mint 20 Terminal:

For opening an image within the Linux Mint 20 terminal, you can opt for either of the two methods shown below:

Method # 1: Using a Built-in Command:

There is a built-in Linux command for opening an image in the terminal which is as follows:

$ xdg-open Image.extension

Here, you need to replace Image.extension with the exact name of the image that you want to open followed by its correct extension. Also, if your desired image resides within the current directory, then it is fine, otherwise, you will have to provide its complete path in the above-mentioned command. We wanted to open an image named BootLoader.jpeg that resides in our current directory.

As soon as you will run this command, your specified image will open in the terminal as shown in the image below:

Method # 2: Installing an External Utility:

Another method of opening an image in the Linux Mint 20 terminal is to install an external utility named Fim. This utility can be installed on your system with the following command:

$ sudo apt install fim

Once the Fim utility is installed on your Linux Mint 20 system, you can use it to open an image in the terminal in the manner shown below:

$ fim Image.extension

Again, you need to replace Image.extension with the exact name of the image that you want to open followed by its correct extension. Also, if your desired image resides within the current directory, then it is fine, otherwise, you will have to provide its complete path in the above-mentioned command. We wanted to open an image named BootLoader.jpeg that resides in our current directory.

When this command will be executed, your specified image will immediately open in the terminal as shown in the following image:

Conclusion:

This tutorial explained two very simple methods of opening an image in Linux Mint 20 terminal. The first method was relatively easier than the second one but the second one also did not have any complexities other than the addition of an extra step. By using any of these methods, you can easily achieve the goal of opening any desired image of your choice in the Linux Mint 20 terminal.

For this method, you just need to right-click on any empty space on your desktop or any other directory from which you want to launch the terminal. This will launch a menu on your screen from which you have to select the option that says, “Open in Terminal”.

Soon after selecting this option, a terminal window will appear on your screen with the path of your current directory as shown in the following image:

Method # 4: The Mint Menu Method:
