Are you using the Elementary OS instead of Ubuntu? Well, here I’ll show you how to add the ‘Open in terminal’ option to the Pantheon file manager right-click menu. So that you can quickly open terminal and automatically navigate to the current directory in Pantheon.

To get started, use your favorite editor to create the config file /usr/share/contractor/openinterminal.contract and edit it. I prefer Gedit, so I install it and edit the file via below commands:

sudo apt-get install gedit sudo gedit /usr/share/contractor/openinterminal.contract

Copy and paste below lines into the file and save it.

[Contractor Entry]

Name=Open in terminal

Icon=terminal

Description=Open in terminal

MimeType=inode;application/x-sh;application/x-executable;

Exec=pantheon-terminal -d %U

Gettext-Domain=pantheon-terminal

Log out and back in and done! Or you need a restart if it doesn’t work properly.
