nautilus-open-any-terminal ★ 1005 90 APPLICATION

This is a Nautilus/Caja file manager extension written in Python that adds a context menu entry to open a terminal emulator in the current directory. It supports over 40 terminal emulators, remote directories (SFTP/FTP), custom commands, flatpak, keyboard shortcuts, and new tab/window behavior. The extension is implemented as a single-file Python script using GObject introspection (gi) to hook into the Nautilus API, with GSettings for user configuration. It provides localized strings via gettext translations. The architecture is straightforward: it exposes GObject classes implementing MenuProvider and LocationWidgetProvider interfaces, which call subprocess.Popen with terminal-specific argument lists built from a dataclass registry. Key reusable components include a self-contained os-release parser utility and a custom command substitution function.
