Open Terminal Here

AppleScript application which opens a Terminal at the location of the front-most Finder window

Usage

The application is well suited to be placed in the Finder’s toolbar.

Clicking it opens a new Terminal window and changes directory to the location of the selected file/folder. Drag and dropping items on the icon opens one Terminal window per item.

Holding down the ⌘ key opens tabs instead of windows.

Holding down the ⌥ key changes directory in the front-most Terminal window instead of opening a new one. When the frontmost window is busy it opens a new window/tab (depending on the state of the ⌘ key)
