Thanks for your suggestion sfb,
I tried:
sudo apt install nemo-terminal
but got error: "unable to locate package nemo-terminal"
however, I noticed on a website that nemo normally uses gnome-terminal to open terminals, so I tried installing this as follows:
sudo apt install gnome-terminal
this succeeded, and a new icon for "Terminal" appeared on the desktop
This terminal seems quite similar to Kings Cross, and even shares the same command history.
Gnome terminal seems to run from Nemo, already cd'd to the current folder when the relevant toolbar icon in Nemo is selected.
Notes:
- I had to go into Nemo's preferences, and click to enable the terminal icon in Nemo's toolbar.
- I also have to quickly swap to landscape orientation on the phone to physically see this icon in the toolbar, or it is not drawn. (It only takes a few moments to select landscape, click the icon, then select portrait again.)
- I also ran the following command before running Nemo, to try to globally make all program dialogs shrink to fit the screen:
gsettings set sm.puri.phoc scale-to-fit true
This seemed helpful in many cases, though not all.
If anyone knows how to make the "open in terminal" option appear in the file menu or something, this would be really helpful??
Regards everyone.
