Trying here without success to change the terminal application to tilix when clicking on Open In Terminal in context menu of Nautilus; now, it launches gnome-terminal.

Already installed and launched FileManager-Actions Configuration-Tool, but don't know how to use it.

I am not using ubuntu at the moment, so I cannot double check. But if I remember correctly, I used this to change the default terminal emulator to Tilix.

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

Ubuntu – How to add a custom context menu for ‘git gui’ in Nautilus

You need to markup your working directory. This is how I would do it:

Path: /usr/bin/git

Parameters: gui

Working directory: %d/%b

This will use the current directory, then the basename of the directory selected.

Ubuntu – Run script in Terminal via context menu (Open with Terminal)

The clean way would be to create a .desktop file for your script and then make it the default text editor.

Create a file called /usr/share/applications/openscript.desktop with the following contents:

[Desktop Entry]
Name=Open script in terminal
Exec=gnome-terminal -e "%U"
Terminal=false
Type=Application
MimeType=text/plain;

Then, do these steps:

Log out/in (I don't know if it's necessary)
Right click on the file
Click on Open with...
Click on Another app...
Select "Open script in terminal"
You're done!
