Custom Scripts on Nautilus (also known as Files)

Custom Scripts on Nautilus (also known as Files)

If you are like me and sometimes want things done without typing this will be useful.

Go to your home folder and press CTRL-h. It will show you all the hidden files. Next, go to .local/share/nautilus and you will see a scripts folder. All the files you put on this folder and make executable will show if you click a file with right mouse click on a menu called Scripts on nautilus.

So all you have to do is make a bash script and put it in this scripts directory and chmod +x the_script.

You can also name your script like "Open in Terminal".

For instance, I created a script to open a file in the micro editor (you have to install tilix) like this:

tilix -e micro $1
