How can I open a terminal, on a Mac OS, with keyboard shortcuts, as it is in Linux?

It's very inconvenient to use the finder and type "Terminal" there, while in Linux I just press

Ctrl+Alt+T

If you are in the Finder, you can already assign a shortcut to open Terminal at the current folder (mine is Command-Option-T).


If you want a command to work anywhere, it is very simple, too.


Open the Shortcuts application, and a single action; then click the "Add Keyboard Shortcut" button, and choose what you want. Done.

Thanx, but it is not fit. I asked about hot keys, without any tiping .

I talked about a set of keys, and how to assign them, as in Linux "Ctrl+Alt+T"


In your recomendation, author talking about typing inside "spotlight search"


"Press "Cmd+Space" to open spotlight search, and type terminal and hit return.

Or if you are in the terminal press "Cmd+T" to open a new tab OR "Cmd+N" to open a new Terminal window."
