Answers to: gnome-terminal:keyboard shortcut launches terminal with / directory default!http://linuxexchange.org/questions/855/gnome-terminalkeyboard-shortcut-launches-terminal-with-directory-default<p><strong>Hello</strong> , I ran this 'gconf-cleaner' just for the sake() on My Debian Box.</p> <p>If I launch "gnome-terminal" from Applications Menu or from a panel icon ,it works with default $HOME directory(default behaviour). But ,with custom keyboard shortcut for Gnome Terminal in Gnome-2.30(Can set via menu System>Preferences>Keyboard Shortcuts),it opens in root directory.I mean in "/" directory. The Easy fix is to assign 'gnome-terminal --working-directory=%f ' or something similar.</p> <p>Is there a way to fix this Behaviour without adding any lines to ~/.bashrc etc ?</p> <p><strong>BTW ,$HOME variable is correct.rest everything is Fine.</strong></p>enWed, 20 Apr 2011 14:19:29 -0400Comment by rfelsburg on deepclutch's questionhttp://linuxexchange.org/questions/855/gnome-terminalkeyboard-shortcut-launches-terminal-with-directory-default#2473<p>Please accept an answer so the question/answer can be finished.
