Is there anyway on opening a GUI for a folder that you are in. Such as if i direct to the home directory and then type the command then a GUI of the directory appears.
Thanks

replace "nautilus" with "your-file-manager"Code:nautilus /whichever/directory/you/are/in

$(pwd) returns the directory your currently in.
. is also a synonym for the current directory.
So I think the following would also workCode:nautilus $(pwd)Also, if you want the graphical process to fork off, so you can close the terminal (or continue doing something else with it), you can add an ampersand to the end of the command:Code:nautilus .Code:nautilus . &

I can do that in 6 keystrokes.Code:nau(tab) . &

They just get in the way and slow you down. It's like having somebody holding a a map in front of your face when you're trying to drive.

Yeah. I get what your saying. I am still not quite fast enough at the terminal to do it yet but one day!

Yea, I was going to include an alias for "n" but then that would be cheating.
