Can't live without the terminal? Embed it directly in the file manager.

How?

I was also curious about this one. There’s a link in the comments of the article that points here:

https://itsfoss.com/nautilus-tips-tweaks/#bonus-embed-a-terminal

It involves some python libraries.

That Nautilus Terminal says it no longer works on the GitHub page. https://github.com/flozz/nautilus-terminal

Which sucks because that sounds great.

Thanks for pointing that out. I was planning to install later this week. It’s a shame that it’s no longer because yah, it does sound great.

Seems like the whole article can be condensed to "Dragging and dropping text does what you expect. Dragging and dropping directories/files will insert the absolute path".

Yes, if you already know that you can drag and drop between unrelated programs, it will work like you expected it.

If you don't know it, you can pick it up by looking over the shoulder of your friend or co-worker, or you can read articles like this.

You can also just give it a try, like most of us, but hey, who am I to judge.
