Open in Terminal

"Open in Terminal" make a new terminal window of the working directory depending on the frontmost context by a shortcut key. The frontmost context means,

  • If Finder is in frontmost, the working directory is Finder's selected location.
  • If a document window opened by certain application stays in frontmost, the folder containing the file will be the working directory of new terminal window.

When there is a terminal of the target working directory, the terminal window will be bring to front instead of opening new terminal. This feature helps to avoid terminal windows scattering. To enable this function setting up ~/.bashrc or ~/.zshrc is required. See "Installation" section in the manual for the details.
