@G-ManSays'ReinstateMonica', I want comments to show up as comments. In that configuration file, lines that begin with # are comments. If you remove ```bash, it no longer syntax-highlights the comments as comments. So, I recommend putting ```bash back, especially in configuration files like this which have a lot of bash-like syntax and comments which look nice when syntax-highlighted as though they were in a shell script, like Bash.

@GabrielStaples: Use ```bash for Bash commands (e.g., scripts), not for text files in general.

Tweaked formatting.

@G-ManSays'ReinstateMonica' and others: I just did a major revamp to this answer. The old version which quoted %F did work on paths with double quotes, but not on paths with single quotes. So, adding EscapeSpaces=true fixed it, but that required adding a bunch of extra information to the answer too, which I just did.

Add EscapeSpaces=true to force old versions of nemo, including that which can be installed into Ubuntu 22.04, to properly handle single and double quotes in their paths

@G-ManSays'ReinstateMonica', I just checked and tested it: it works fine now in a directory named ~/temp/"test " (contains space and double quotes).

Click the "edited 17 mins ago" link and you'll see my edit in the history already. It must have been approved before you could approve it. The "credit" is only in the edit history, and in these comments here. I'll do one more minor edit to improve that <user> line still, so it will work on anyone's machine automtically using the environment variable $USER.

I wanted to approve your edit but also wanted to edit the path (adminuser -> <user>) so I chose 'edit' instead of 'approve' and now I don't see how to approve it anymore :( I hope you get approval from others and the credit you deserve.

Done: I've edited your answer to match my own open_in_terminator.nemo_action file exactly. Now you can also right-click on a folder and choose to open the folder in terminator, as well as still right-click on the background in any folder to open up terminator there too.

| Jun 23, 2020 at 18:29 | comment | added | BanAnanas | Thanks! I personally have a habit of clicking empty space inside the folder I want to open terminator in, so this solution suited my needs at the time. If you can tweak the solution so it works both for right-clicking on empty space and right-clicking on a folder, that would be great! Feel free to edit all you like :) | |

improve references at end; and format the action file content as code

I love this answer! But, here's some improvements: 1) change Comment to Comment=Open the 'terminator' terminal in the selected folder, 2) change Exec=terminator --working-directory=%P to Exec=terminator --working-directory=%F, and use Selection=any and Extensions=dir; so that right-clicking on a folder and going to "Open in Terminator" opens it in the selected folder, but right-clicking on files won't give you this option.
