Go2Shell App Reviews

Install, drag, configure, enjoy!!

Makes it very quick and easy to open a terminal window from a finder window.

Perfect, fast.

This is exactly what I needed, though I didnt even know it was missing. This is such a useful RedHat Linux feature and it is even more handy in the Mac Finder Toolbar. Way to go! (Though, now I have switched to iTerm2, I am unable to use this guy. I ended up writing an applescript to do the same thing, but Id love it if there was an option or preference somewhere to change what terminal app it opens!) :)

Nice little to utility to jump to terminal from whatever directory you are in within Finder (also works with PathFinder). Plain and simple, does as expected!

Go2Shell is just one of those little things that make life easier. Not everyone wants fast access to the shell or needs it. Heck, Id guess that most Mac users dont even know about the shell. But for those of us who use it on a regular basis, all I can say is "THANK YOU!"

Fantastic must-have app for a programmer !

The button is so ugly that I had to remove it. Won’t work in All My Files view. I would rather just use the Open Terminal command in Services menu.

I use it all the time. Great functional solution to an issue that is doable otherwise, but was tricky to hack together and did not always work as desired.

IMPORTANT! For Mavericks users: Just hold CMD, while dragging to Finder toolbar.

Is it broken on Mavericks?

It will be even more awesome if it can open in a tab instead of a new window (e.g. for iTerm2).

Please match the style and size of other elements in the finder toolbar. Also, if possible, detect focus and match out of focus style as well.

Looks like Mavericks 10.9 has changed the behavior for adding application/document shortcuts to the Finder toolbar. Where before you could simply drag any icon up to the Finder toolbar and hold it there for a second to add it, you now need to first hold down Option+Command and then start dragging the desired icon to the toolbar. You can still remove the icons the same way as before: holding down Command, dragging the icon away from the toolbar and then releasing.

The application works extremely well. Very useful when you’re hopping around directories in Finder. In Mavericks you can’t drop Go2Shell on the Finder bar unless you press the ⌥+⌘ keys (Alt+Command) before your drop the icon.

So glad I found this app. Works perfectly and saves me a ton of time when I need to open up terminal and navigate to a directory without having to type or remember the entire path. Never had any issues with this application and have been using it for several months now. I don’t know how I ever worked without it!

It’s very useful. Thank you very much!

Exactly what I needed. Every Linux Desktop Environment lets you open a path in a shell easily — having this available in OS X is a big help to me.

I’ve been using Go2Shell for a few years now and couldn’t think it could get any better. THEN, I downloaded the newer version from their website and MAN does it go fast! Very impressive upgrade on a tool that I thought was already perfect!

simple, does one job, and does it well.
