Introduction

Terminal Extras makes the integrated Terminal window more useful: It allows fast switching from NB coding to Terminal work by moving quickly to a node's directory within the terminal. (If you are used to KDE's dolphin terminal integration you might appreciate such similar behavior in NB) This plugin is for all developers who frequently need a terminal prompt close to your NB project files.

Press 'Ctrl+Shift+/' on any active node and the terminal prompt changes into that directory. You can quickly navigate the terminal to the files and folder(s) of your project resources within Projects, Files, Favorites, and Editor that you are working on.

There is nothing fancy to configure, no UI exists for this module, just one global keystroke: 'Ctrl+Shift+/' The plugin will issue a 'cd' command in the active terminal tab and transfers the focus. It works only with local shells, not with ssh connections.

(Note: If the Output|Terminal is not open yet, it will open and activate it first. You might have to press 'Ctrl+Shift+/' again to force a 'cd ' in that case.)

Check your settings..

What OS and which NB version are you using? Does it show a "Change Terminal Directory" Action in "Options | Keymap"? Does your IDE Log shows an exception?

Does not function

This sounds like a great feature, however, it doesn't work with the suggested shortcut. Is any alternative way to launch it? Thanks.
