Ceating a Nautilus action button for opening current directory in Terminology, Ubuntu 20.04
I have installed terminology in my Ubuntu 20.04 desktop. I changed my default Gnome terminal to Terminology usingsudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
and then selecting the terminology
option in the window. It works fine for me when I press Ctrl+Shift+T now, it open a new Terminology window instead of the default Gnome Terminal. The problem is that whenever I try to use the Open in Terminal
button in the Nautilus File Manager window, it still uses the old Gnome Terminal. So, I tried to create a custom action using the File Manager config tools fma-config-tools
after installing the package. Here are the images of the created action:
But the problem is that after doing this, and restarting the nautilus window using nautilus -q
and nautilus &
, the action button which should come into the right click menu does not show up. Please help me out with where I am going wrong in this.
Solution 1:
I cannot directly help with Nautilus actions. Fact is also that it is not anymore supported on later versions of nautilus, so it may not be a durable option.
However, you could try the nautilus python extension, nautilus-open-any-terminal
. It can be found at https://github.com/Stunkymonkey/nautilus-open-any-terminal, where installation instructions are available. It does support Terminology, and as an added bonus, it can be triggered from within nautilus with a configurable shortcut key.
