When I rightclick a folder in Nautilus I find these options "Open in New Window" and "Open in New Tab". Is it possible to add an option "Open in New Pane" which would open the selected folder in a new pane as it appears when I press F3?
What would be the parameters for Nautilus Actions or can I realize this with Nautilus Scripts?
I'm sure there are many ways to do this... but here goes...!
Install nautilus-actions and xdotool
Create a new script in your home folder called newpane and paste:
sleep 0.3
xdotool key ctrl+c
sleep 0.3
xdotool key F3
sleep 0.3
xdotool key Tab
sleep 0.3
xdotool key Right
sleep 0.3
xdotool key Return
sleep 0.3
xdotool key Down
sleep 0.3
xdotool key ctrl+l
sleep 0.3
xdotool key ctrl+v
sleep 0.3
xdotool key Return
Give the file execute rights:
chmod +x ~/newpane
Run nautilus-actions-config-tool
Choose edit - preferences and uncheck the options shown:
Create a new menu option:
execute your new script - n.b. give it the full path to your script and save it, before closing the application.
Restart nautilus:
nautilus -q
You'll now have a new option:
