Hi,

Is there a way to specify a shortcut to open a terminal in the current directory in nautilus?

Open in Terminal menu item comes from gnome-terminal as a nautilus extension. Refer gnome-terminal/src/terminal-nautilus.cc#L520-573. So, this needs to be added in gnome-terminal.

Open in Console comes from nautilus, and a keyboard shortcut can be added as below.

Well, That would mean to handle every nautilus update myself.
Why wasn’t it provided by default?

I think it would be handy to have a shortcut. Submitted following MR.

Good!
This is a must for a keyboard-centric desktop as Gnome.
