Open Terminal Here. is A very popular and handy little tip to add “Open Terminal Here” to the right click menu in Nautilus. Ever need to edit a file that you just found in Nautilus only to find that its locked and you need sudo permissions to edit it, or even wish to change some permissions for a particular file while in Nautilus, now you can do this easier, from the right click menu you can open the Terminal and its already changed to that directory. This will make life much easier on the new Linux user that is not familiar with the file system and help to simplify things when it is necessary to modify something with the Terminal.
