You use it for accessing and managing files and folders on your system. + +You can also manage files and directories from the terminal though not everyone prefers that. + +However, you may encounter situations where you have to switch between the terminal and file manager. + +There are various ways to interact between the Nautilus file manager and terminal. Surprisingly, not many Linux users know about them. + +**_For example, in Nautilus, right-click and choose 'Open in terminal' option and you'll open the current directory location in the terminal._** + +![Open terminal from Nautilus file manager in Linux][1] + +That's just one of the many examples I am going to share with you in this article. + +### 1. Drag and drop to get the absolute path + +If you drag and drop a folder or a file to a terminal, its absolute path will be pasted on the terminal screen. + +![Dragging and Dropping a File or Folder from Nautilus to Terminal will paste tha absolute path of that item][2] + +This helps when you are deep inside the directory structure in the file browser and don't want to type the entire path in the terminal. + +### 2. Enter a directory + +It's similar to what you saw above. If you are deep inside the directory structure and don't want to type the entire path for [switching to the directory][3], this trick helps. + +Type the [cd command][4] in the terminal and then drag and drop to enter into the directory. + +![Enter to a directory by Drag and Drop that directory to the terminal after a "cd" command][5] + +### 3. Open a file in editor + +Similarly, you can open a file for [editing with Nano][6] or Vim editor. + +Drag and drop a file to `nano` command to open it for editing. + +![After typing "nano", drag and drop the file you need to edit to the terminal][7] + +### 4. Open a file for editing with sudo + +Same as above but this time, you open the file for editing with sudo access. + +![Open the sources list file in nano with sudo privileges.][8] + +### 5. Drag multiple files, if the command supports multiple arguments + +You can also drag and drop multiple files to get their absolute paths. This can be used with commands that accept more than one argument. + +For example, the [diff command checks the difference between two files][9]. Enter `diff` and then drag and drop the files you want to check for differences. + +![Check the difference in two files by selecting both files and then drag and drop them as diff command arguments][10] + +### 6. Copy and paste from text files + +Reading a document and have to run a command mentioned in it? You can of course [copy paste in the terminal][11]. + +However, a quicker way is to select the text and drag and drop it to the terminal. + +This trick works with [GNOME-Sushi][12] preview as well. + +![Drag and Drop some text from any file from its overview using GNOME-Sushi][13] + +### 7. Drag and drop from browser + +Like the text files above, you can also drag and drop text from browsers. This helps in following tutorials while doing it at the same time. + +![Drag and Drop codes or URLs from internet to the terminal without copy or paste][14] + +### 8. Embed terminal in Nautilus + +Can't live without the terminal? Embed it directly in the file manager. This way you don't have to [open a terminal][15] separately. + +The thing here is that if you switch to another directory in the file browser, it automatically switches the directly in the embedded terminal also. + +You can perform most of the above-mentioned drag and drop operations in the Nautilus embedded terminal also. For example, search for a specific text in bashrc, by dropping the `.bashrc` file and using grep. + +![Search for a specific text in bashrc, by dropping the .bashrc file in the embedded terminal and using grep][16] + +### 9. Drag files between tabs of the embedded terminal + +Both terminal and file manager supports the tabbed view. You can drag and drop files from one tab to another. + +For example, to [check the shasum][17] value for an ISO, enter shasum command, then, drag and drop the file from another tab, as shown below. + +![Check the shasum value for an ISO, enter shasum command, then, drag and drop the file from another tab][18] + +### More on Nautilus and terminal + +Liked these tips? Maybe you would want to learn more such tips. + +If you want to get more out of the Nautilus file manager, here are a few tips for you. + +Here are some terminal tips to explore. + +💬 _Do you know any other such cool tip that combines the terminal and the file manager?
