How to open terminal in dolphin?

In Ubuntu 13.04 with KDE desktop is there any way to do an action like "Open terminal" in Dolphin? Can it be done using a hotkey?

1 Answer

In the dolphin file manager just press the F4 function key and that will open a terminal inside dolphin, in the same directory.

To open a separate terminal window, press Shift+F4; or right-click in the directory contents pane and choose Actions > Open Terminal Here.

Note: As Dolphin is KDE-based the default terminal emulator it launches is Konsole, so if you only get an empty area instead of a terminal, try running

sudo apt-get install konsole
