I use <Primary>b as shortcut (b like Bash)
Quit all Nautilus instances with nautilus -q

Changed script to:

#! /bin/sh
export F=$@
gnome-terminal

And added to .bashrc:

if [ -n "$F" ]; then 
	# F is set (i.e. this was called from Nautilus and my special script)
	echo "\$F is set to $F"
fi

Another Change for spaces and multiple arguments:

Script:

#!/bin/sh
# Sadly it's not possible to properly "export" an array,
# so we use a newline as delimiter. Expect this to break if you have
# newline characters in your paths. (Yes, this is possible in linux
# but not recommended.)

# join function https://stackoverflow.com/a/17841619/4529404
function join_by { local IFS="$1"; shift; echo "$*"; }
export F=$(join_by $'\n' "$@")
gnome-terminal

.bashrc:

if [ -n "$F" ]; then 
	# F is set (i.e. this was called from Nautilus and my special script)
	#printf "%s" "$IFS" | od -bc
	IFS=$'\n' read -rd '' -a y <<<"$F" # split at \n
	#printf "%s" "$IFS" | od -bc
	# I checked it: IFS is changed only for one command
	if [ ${#y[@]} = 1 ] ; then
		export F=${y[0]}
		set -- "$F"
		echo "\$F and \$@ are set to $F"
		if [[ -f $F && -x "$F" ]]; then
			echo "File '$F' is executable. Run f to execute it."
			function f() {
				./$F
			}
		fi
	else
		export F="" # can not export arrays :/
		set -- "${y[@]}"
		echo "\$@ consists of ${#y[@]} entries:"
		
		for i in "$@"; do
			echo " - " $i
		done
		echo "Use via 'command \"\$@\"'"
	fi
fi

This is just what I needed. Thank you!

The script works for me, but the shortcut association via ~/.config/nautilus/scripts-accels doesn't. I am under Ubuntu 20.04. Any ideas?

Did you remember to:

Quit all Nautilus instances with nautilus -q

Other than looking at journalctl --follow while trying the shortcuts I have no ideas at the top of my head. Are you using nautilus as a snap or flatpak? Does the script work when invoked via context menu -> scripts?

I installed nautilus from apt repo

for me, if destination script name contains spaces, then keyboard shortcuts don't work (no matter if I use quotes or backslashes) but if script name is a whole text, then keyboard shortcuts work (I'm under Manjaro)

Yes I did. However after deleting everything and redoing it... now it works! Don't know why!

in ~/.config/nautilus/scripts-accels how do I assign shortcuts like this?

Superkey + T
Ctrl + Shift + T
Ctrl + Alt + T

I tried the trick you suggested above but when folders contain spaces it doesn't work. It just opens the terminal into the last folder in the path not having spaces. Moreover if I select more than one file it just don't do any action.

I use <Primary>b as shortcut (b like Bash)

This is Ctrl + B which works fine for me. Super will probably be handled by the Window manager as a global shortcut so I'd recommend something simple.

Thanks, @dreua!!! I did not know about this feature!!!

Now, I can access my scripts (https://github.com/cfgnunes/nautilus-scripts) using the keyboard! 😊

Moreover, I will configure to open the VSCode in the current directory more easily!
