In Debian Stretch, I added Ctrl+Alt+T as a shortcut to gnome-terminal, including "175x25-0-0" as the geometry (a wide window, at the bottom-right of the screen).
I want the same behavior when the terminal is opened from Nautilus' Open in Terminal command, but all I could change (via profile preferences) was the size, not the position.
I tried changing the Custom command (also in profile preferences), to include the geometry, but I ended up with a recursive and useless terminal (recovered via this answer).
I also tried changing /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper, including
push(@args,"--geometry=175x25-0-0");
right before the final exec, but didn't work either.
How can I set the position of the terminal, when called from Nautilus?

@J.Taylor Yes, I've come across that post. If you look at it, you'll notice that /usr/share/vte/termcap/xterm has only options for size, not position. Also, Debian doesn't seem to have a System/Preferences/Preferred Applications.

Afiak the code responsible for launching that terminal is part ofgnome-terminal, you'll have to patch the source code to change the geometry - seesrc/terminal-nautilus.c. It might be more convenient to write your own nautilus-python extension (there's plenty of them on the web, pick one that works on your setup and adapt it to your needs)...

@don_crissti Change the Nautilus source code to make it point somewhere else (a bash script?) wouldn't be easier, or at least equally complex?

I don't think you read my post above... This isn'tnautiluscode, it'sgnome-terminalcode... As I said, you can always write your own extension - that's the easiest way.
