Have a look at the try statement and error statement in the AppleScript Language Guide. The onus is upon the user to add any error handling as may be appropriate, needed or wanted.
#OPEN TERMINAL FROM FOLDER CODE#
Note: The example AppleScript code is just that and does not contain any error handling as may be appropriate.
In Finder, give it the same icon as Terminal.In Script Editor, save the example AppleScript code as an AppleScript application, as e.g.: Open Terminal Here.Set currentFolder to target of Finder window 1 as aliasĭo script "cd " & quoted form of POSIX path of currentFolder & " clear"Īs an added bonus, you can also use the example AppleScript code saved as an AppleScript application in Script Editor and place it in the Toolbar of Finder, thus allowing one to click the icon to open a Terminal window at the current location when one wants versus using the keyboard short assigned to the Automator service. Accessibility privileges for Automator may need to be granted for this service to work properly.Įxample AppleScript code: tell application "Finder".I wanted to use ^⌘T but it would not work, so I settled for: ^⌘\ Additionally, the assigned keyboard shortcut cannot be one that is already in use by Finder.Note: After assigning it a keyboard shortcut, you may have to trigger the new service one time with the mouse from the Finder > Services menu for it to work subsequently using the assigned keyboard shortcut.It should show under the General section of the aforementioned path. Open Terminal Here with the settings as shown in the image below.
Ĭreate an Automator Service adding a Run AppleScript action, then replace the default code with the example AppleScript code shown below.
One way to open a Terminal window at the location of the current Finder window, using a keyboard shortcut, is to use AppleScript in an Automator Service ( Quick Action in macOS Mojave), then assign it a keyboard shortcut in: System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services >. Well the built in service isn't available because an individual Folder isn't selected and what's selected in the Sidebar doesn't count. This may be fine for one's particular usage, but if not, then here is an alternative.įor example, say you have a Finder window open to your Downloads folder, which is selected in the Sidebar, and you want to open a Terminal window there. So if you have a Finder window open but no additional folder selected, it is not available. In System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services under Files and Folders there is a New Terminal at Folder shortcut which you can assign a keyboard shortcut to however, it only appears on the Finder > Services menu, or the right-click context menu, when a Folder is selected.
