TermHere is an OS Service and Finder extension that does one job and does it perfectly. It lets you open a Terminal window with the directory highlighted in the Finder. You don't have to move around the command line. Select a file/folder in the Finder, press a hotkey and a terminal window opens with the current directory as its focus.
There are a plethora of ways to achieve this:
Termhere>Toolbar
- Highlight a folder or file in the Finder and press the toolbar icon
- Highlight a folder or file in the Finder and press the keyboard command ⌘+⇧+X
Termhere>Contextual Menu
- Highlight a folder or file in the Finder and right click on it. Choose New Terminal Here.
- Highlight a folder or file in the Finder and invoke the command from the Services menu.
- You can open a new terminal window from links or paths written in documents, web pages, emails, and any other place supported by OS X's Services feature.
The preferences for TermHere let you do two things:
Terminal Choice
