If you use KDE the safest thing is that you use Dolphin, and I think this post will be interesting for you 😉
And yes ... this is another post related to the terminal (console, bash, shell, whatever you want to call it hehe).
It happens that many times we are browsing our folders, with our KDE file browser: Dolphin, and for some reason we need to open a terminal exactly in the place (folder) where we are located.
Well, we can do this in a very simple way ... because it brings the option to open a terminal in that same folder where we are, for example in my case it looks like this:
By default it does NOT have the terminal visible, but, if I press [F4] bingo, it shows me 😀
Gnome users can do this too, they just need to install the package first: Nautilus-Open-Terminal
It is worth noting, that when I refer to Gnome I am still talking about Unity, since both Gnome and Unity (like Cinnamon) use Nautilus as file browser 😉
In other words, whether you are a user of Gnome2, Unity o Gnome3, you install the package Nautilus-Open-Terminal, you close the session and go back in and that's it, you will have the terminal available (with [F4] almost certainly) in your file browser.
That or, if you want to, you can kill the Nautilus process (Sudo Killall Nautilus.) and then open a folder, it should still work for you 😉
In short, a little tip that we often overlook and can be useful.

Interesting! I write it down, although it usually happens the other way around, I'm in terminal and suddenly I want to use the browser to see some photos or others ... lol The solution is easier.
HAHAHA the same thing happens to me, I spend more time in the terminal ... I end up using cd as if it were air HAHA
To quickly view photos from the command line you can use for example: $ ristretto {arch} (Xfce), $ eog {arch} (GNOME), $ gwenview {arch} (KDE), etc .; the only problem with using Gwenview to view a simple file is that in general it is a heavy application that will not instantly open like Ristretto, EOG, etc.
The program I use to view graphic files quickly is Feh [0], which in addition to being hyper light and having a multitude of functions, is generally compiled in all distros with Framebuffer enabled so that even though we are working on the console without having raised the X anyway we can see graphic files - in the same way that we can play movies with mplayer if it is also compiled with FB.

you can use feh, but only if you have activated the X, also this Caca-Utils but it shows you the images in ascii mode, another one that you can use is the zgv.
Great tip, hehe, years using kde and now I realize the F4 in dolphin. XD.
LOL!! KDE has a lot of things that we hardly know, do you know everything you can do with KRunner (the [Alt] + [F2])? 😀
Impossible to know all of them, because I can make a new plugin for the KRunner myself and you don't know it anymore. The ones I use are kill application (clearer or watery), = mathematical operation (works as an advanced calculator), num unit in unit (eg: 2 cm in km converts units)
HAHA man obviously. I'm afraid you failed to grasp what I meant by this comment you reply ...
I installed nautilus-open-terminal in Ubuntu 12.04 and Nautilis 3.4.2 and the F4 does not work but if I added the option Open in a terminal in the File menu, as well as if I press the right button of the mouse on a folder the same option appears. Without a doubt, it would be more practical to operate with F4. Any suggestions?
Is that Nautilus You don't have this option that I remember. This option was introduced in the fork Nautilus Elementary.
very useful, thanks
And with Shift + F4 a Konsole session is opened in the current directory (much more useful if we are going to perform several tasks with the console).
And regarding what Sea_chello asks for, from the console run "dolphin." (that is, dolphin SPACE POINT), and voila 😉

Thanks, it seems like a very useful "Key". 😉
Very good tip even though I just drag the folder to the terminal and then I use XFCE: p
I didn't know that one!
KDE is just great ... is it? ... hehe
Thanks, I didn't know
Wow, that trick is good 😛
Well, what a surprise, googling a bit I have also discovered the useful kde4 dashboard, using [ctrl] + [F12]. You will not go to bed without knowing something new, 😉
Whoops! with that tip dolphin and nautilus they look amazing 😀
Cheers(:
Actually it is as elav said, in Nautilus Elementary is where it can be done, the one that comes by default in Ubuntu and other distros nop ... you have to add the Elementary PPA
So you haven't read the list of shortcuts in kde system settings?
There are so many that I have not read them HAHAHAHA 😀
On Arch Linux (and the Ubuntu one above might work as well) the package is called "nautilus-terminal".
Thank you very much for the tip
Hey.
In Debian Squeeze (with gnome) it doesn't work when pressing F4. Right clicking "Open in terminal", yes.
Thank you.
