Description

Often I am in a situation where I need to open Nautilus in the CWD of Guake. Now, I need to use the mouse to select and copy the CWD of my Guake tab, then I have to open Nautilus, do Ctrl+T, Ctrl+L, Ctrl+V, Enter. This is insane amount of work to open a file manager. I can also just call `nautilus . &` . But writing that all the time is annoying. I can make this even faster by creating an alias, e.g. `nh` (nautilus here). This is what I do now. But I would very much prefer to use an Alt+T keyboard shortcut. I already bent over backwards to make that keyboard shortcut work from Nautilus to open Guake in CWD of Nautilus. This feature would make switching between guake and file manager much more smooth.

Alternative solution would be allowing people to create custom actions (i.e. scripts) that could be configured to run when a keyboard shortcut is used in Guake.

Thank you for considering this.
