GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 615006
nautilus-open-terminal can't be accessed with Nautilus in scrolled "list view" mode
Last modified: 2020-03-05 10:52:00 UTC
I always use the "List" view. If the current folder has many files there will be no empty space on which to right-click in order to get the "Open in Terminal" link for opening the currently viewed folder. I try right-click on the current directory's button in the button bar, but the "Open in Terminal" menu item is not present. Can it be added, please? The workaround I use is to switch to icon view so that their is empty space on which to right-click.

The same in Nautilus 3.22. Another workarounds are: 2) to change directory one level up, right-click on the folder name and choose "open in terminal". 3) follow this answer to create a script https://askubuntu.com/questions/680016/keyboard-shortcut-for-open-terminal-nautilus-3-16 which then can be used as with a keyboard short-cut or by right-click on a _file_ in the current directory and choosing "Script / Terminal". Anyway, quite clumsy. I wonder which file browser the devs use that such a functionality have not made it to "fixed" status for 7 years.
Closing as WONTFIX as per https://gitlab.gnome.org/Infrastructure/Infrastructure/issues/261 - this is not needed anymore and part of gnome-terminal itself nowadays.
