Geek Posted December 21, 2011 Posted December 21, 2011 <div class="KonaBody"><p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/go2shell-opens-terminal-from-finder.jpg" alt="Go2Shell opens new terminal from a Finder window" title="go2shell-opens-terminal-from-finder" width="620" height="243" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25152" /></p> <p>Go2Shell is a free Finder toolbar add-on that creates a new Terminal window from the current directory of any desktop folder in Mac OS X with a click of a button. This is similar to the services option that can be <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/07/open-a-selected-finder-folder-in-a-new-terminal-window/">added to the right-click contextual menu</a>, but Go2Shell is faster due to resting in the Finder toolbar and being accessible with a single click. </p> <ul> <li><a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/go2shell/id445770608">Download Go2Shell free on the Mac App Store</a></li> </ul> <p>Installation is easy, download Go2Shell from the Mac App Store and then drag Go2Shell into any Finder window toolbar. The app works with OS X Lion and Snow Leopard, although the icon needs updating to fit Lion’s UI. Removing Go2Shell from the toolbar is achieved by holding down the command key and dragging it out. </p> <p>If you favor iTerm2 or another terminal application other than the OS X default Terminal.app, you can select that as the default by accessing the Go2Shell configuration window. Just type the following at the command line: </p> <p><code>open -a Go2Shell --args config</code></p> <p>Here you’ll be able to change the terminal application and adjust the command/message that appears anytime Go2Shell is used (default is cd %PATH%; clear; pwd). </p> <p><img src="http://osxdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/go2shell.jpg" alt="Go2Shell" title="go2shell" width="620" height="297" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-25143" /></p> <p>This was <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/12/07/open-a-selected-finder-folder-in-a-new-terminal-window/#comment-296115">recommended in our comments</a> instead of the Services option. Outside of being quicker, the other added benefit is Mac OS X 10.6 support, which is lacking with the services menu addition. Snow Leopard users can also follow the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2011/03/02/drag-drop-finder-items-into-the-terminal-for-their-full-path/">drag and drop to print the path</a> approach.</p> </div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/JkVlE_weQYW-Ol9yRUAJNlocrVc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/JkVlE_weQYW-Ol9yRUAJNlocrVc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/JkVlE_weQYW-Ol9yRUAJNlocrVc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/JkVlE_weQYW-Ol9yRUAJNlocrVc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CJHrAVY4oqE:CtJFg63va0I:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CJHrAVY4oqE:CtJFg63va0I:V_sGLiPBpWU"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=CJHrAVY4oqE:CtJFg63va0I:V_sGLiPBpWU" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CJHrAVY4oqE:CtJFg63va0I:D7DqB2pKExk"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?i=CJHrAVY4oqE:CtJFg63va0I:D7DqB2pKExk" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CJHrAVY4oqE:CtJFg63va0I:7Q72WNTAKBA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=7Q72WNTAKBA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?a=CJHrAVY4oqE:CtJFg63va0I:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/osxdaily?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/osxdaily/~4/CJHrAVY4oqE" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
