Mac OSX has a nifty feature along the lines of "Right/Apple-Click > Open Terminal Here" that I thought I'd like in GNOME. As usual, I put it to the back on my mind and carried on.

Today however linked off PlanetDebian was a cool article showing how you can integrate scripts into Nautilus, the default GNOME file manager. It also talks about gnome-open which is now aliased to o for me, so in a shell I can type o . and have a Nautilus window open in my working directory with all its funky, GUI goodness.
