Right Click Menu missing Services: open terminal...

Hi,

With the last Catalina suplemental update, and now with Big Sur, my MacOS lost the possibility to open a new terminal from the Right Click services: "New Terminal at Folder" and "New Terminal Tab at Folder" options.

Was this removed from MacOS, or is some problem with my local configuration?

Just in case, what I look for is for something similar to this (although, if I am not wrong, in the last version it was not under 'Services' anymore).

What I have:

Taken from this site, where I followed the instructions without much success: https://bftsystems.ca/posts/2017/10/open-new-terminal-at-folder-in-macos/

I have enabled the services, and I even added a shortcut that doesn't work:

Some ideas, please?

Thank you in advance.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.0

You must use a shortcut that is not already used by the Finder, or another application. Shift+Command+T is used by the Finder to Hide a tab bar, and by the Terminal application to Show a tab bar. You will need to use an unreserved shortcut.

Both of these services work fine on Big Sur without a need manually enable them.

Thank you for your answer.

I didn't know about Shift+Command+T, I had tested and see no changes, and could not find it listed anywhere in services (of course, it is not a service), my mistake.

Anyway, I expected MacOS would notify you if it is being used (even some open-source GNU/Linux desktops do it)...

So, you confirm me that you have these options still available in the right click menu, isn't it?

Thank you
