Default keyboard shortcut for "Open in Terminal"? about caja-extensions

[agreselin]

This is a solution I've adapted from a Linux Mint Forums thread.
First install caja-actions

    sudo apt install caja-actions

then make a file open-terminal-here in ~/.config/caja/scripts/

    vim ~/.config/caja/scripts/open-terminal-here

write

#!/bin/sh
#
# This script opens a gnome-terminal in the current directory.

#
# Put this file in your ~/.config/caja/scripts/ directory.
# You need to have caja-actions installed to use scripts.

cd $CAJA_SCRIPT_CURRENT_URI
exec gnome-terminal

in it and make it executable

chmod +x ~/.config/caja/scripts/open-terminal-here

Open ~/.config/caja/accels

vim ~/.config/caja/accels

add add the following line

(gtk_accel_path "<Actions>/ScriptsGroup/script_file:\\s\\s\\shome\\sUSER\\s.config\\scaja\\sscripts\\sopen-terminal-here" "F4")

where USER is your user name. This binds the script to F4, but of course you can change the shortcut as you like.
Quit Caja (caja -q) and restart it.
I've tested it on Ubuntu 17.10.

Been playing around with AntiX+IceWM, and Rox-Filer has a nice hotkey for this action, the grave (`)

I'll have to wait until the upgrade from Mint 17.3 to try... no caja-actions package available there. Can't wait to try it out though! Thanks agreselin! B)

There is a general issue with extensions that they cannot set keyboard shortcuts for their menu items, because libcaja-extension doesn't provide this ability.
