  1. Working now in Ubuntu 9.04 (GNOME 2.26) and 9.10 (GNOME 2.28). First check under System -> Preferences -> Appearance, switch to the "Interface" tab, then make sure that "Editable menu shortcut keys" is checked. Then open any instance of nautilus, click "File" menu, move the mouse over "Open in terminal", then click and hold left button. Now you can assign a shortcut, e.g. F4 or CTRL-SHIFT-T etc., then release mouse button.

  2. nautilus-open-terminal has been integrated in gnome-terminal sources. We build the extension by default, so you shouldn't notice a difference.

  3. You may need to restart gnome / nautilus for the change to take effect, but afterwards you’ll have a “open terminal” button on your right-click menu anywhere within nautilus or gnome-desktop area. Enjoy.
