As the title says I want to open the terminal from the folder itself.  For ex:- If I am in folder "A" and I press f12(function key 12) the terminal should open up IN the folder "A".

How can I create a keyboard shortcut so that when I press F12 in nautilus (or desktop), I get a terminal in the current directory?

System Settings can be run from the launcher (pinned by default), the Dash, or the power cog. But what command would I enter in a terminal window if I want to run it from there?

For example,   Say I want to list the contents of a folder and directly paste them into a chat window for a friend to see.    I realize I could do ls &gt; filename.txt to create a file (filename.txt) with those contents; I'd then have to open or print the file and manually select and copy the text block (which can be annoying/tedious.)  I clearly could also select and copy the output of ls directly from within the terminal window.  It would be much faster/easier to simply pipe standard output to the clipboard.  What terminal command allows me to do this?

I'm trying to run an executable (testdisk) but double click doesn't work. The only way is to run:  sudo ./testdisk   from terminal. But I'd like to open executables with double click in future. How can I do this?

I'm not sure what how or why this happens but sometimes when I open programs through terminal the terminal continues to attach itself to the program. I can understand this for things like "sudo nautilus" but for regular programs this is extremely annoying.   I cannot detach terminal from program because if I ctrl+c then it closes the program and if I quit the terminal then the program closes as well.  Few questions:   Why does this happen? How do I manually activate/deactivate this function? How do I detach the terminal from the program?   If I am asking too much then I understand. In that case I don't even know how to google the answer so if you can point me to any resources that talks about this or give me the name of the function that is happening that that would be great.   Thanks.

In the Ubuntu terminal I find myself spending considerable time to switch to a particular directory every time the computer starts up. Is there some way I can make this process easier? Is there some hotkey or some quick directory change that I can use (like speed dial on a phone)?   eg:     cd 1:Changes to saved directory one

I would like to know how to write the Exec command of a .desktop file to open a new terminal and execute a shell script in it. The shell script is working and accessible by all users. When launching the script from the terminal everything works, but it doesn't when trying to launch the script from a .desktop file.  Here are some combinations I have already tried:  Exec=gnome-terminal -x sh -c 'echo hello' Exec=sh -c 'gnome-terminal echo hello' Exec=sh -c 'echo hello' Exec=echo hello   The .desktop terminal option is set to true.

I'd like to write a script for opening multiple programs (servers) simultanously in separate terminals - doesn't matter which one - and assign different commands to different terminals with commands "landing" inside the correct terminal. Is this possible? Maybe, something like this:    open terminal1  open terminal2 //simultanously with 1. command1 //execute in terminal1 without opening a new terminal window command2 //execute in terminal2 without opening a new terminal window ...   Can I somehow label terminal windows so commands are executed inside correct terminal?  I'd also like to watch all terminals while their programs are running - my programs have an argument for printing trace/debug to terminal. So I'd like to see what messages are exchanged between them.  NOTE: I'm less concerned about security of exchanged data since this script should serve as a "simulation". I've configured each server to run from an allocated port on localhost.

I preface this by saying I am pretty much a complete noob when it comes to script writing.  Anyway, I am looking to create a script that opens a terminal in the GUI environment of Ubuntu, and when it does, shows the output of the other commands running in the script.   The reason for this is I am looking to take the script, throw it into the directory that runs scripts on log in and have it opening a terminal, run my normal update scripts and then keep the terminal open to allow me to continue after.  My reason is basically to just get more experience, and I figured to automate something I do every time I login.

How can I read a dash file from the terminal other than delimiting it with ./  For example to read a - file we can read it by   cat ./-file_name  Q: Is there an alternative way to achieve the same thing?

I am a novice just learning Fedora 13. I just wanted to know if its possible to redirect whatever I type in the terminal to a file, so that I would be able to see from the file, that a particular command gives this output.  So whatever I am doing should go to a file.

I use LibreOffice Writer a lot, but I really do hate getting around in a GUI, I much prefer the CLI, so is there any way to open a file using LibreOffice Writer through the Terminal?

I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 and everything seems to work fine, except that I cannot start gnome-terminal from Unity launcher or from a shortcut locked to the side panel.  However, gnome-terminal starts fine from Xterm or from right-click>Open Terminal. I can also run gnome-terminal by Alt-F2.  So, this seems to be a problem with Unity?  When pressing on gnome-terminal from Unity launcher or from a shortcut, the gnome-terminal icon just pulsates a bit, after which the shell terminates. I never see the shell itself, just its icon on the sidebar.  Searching for Terminal in Unity launcher, it finds gnome-terminal, but its name is "nlykkei@nlykkei-Ubuntu:~" and not the usual "Terminal".  Also, gnome-terminal doesn't show colors anymore, like green for an executable, etc.  Can someone guide me on how to restore my Unity Terminal? I've already spent 2-3 hours on Google, attempting to solve the problem by configuring locale settings.

I am trying to copy the contents of a folder to another folder in a different directory using terminal.  Would somebody be able to provide me an example of the command line syntax required to achieve this?
