Question: My terminal always opens in home directory no matter where I open it. I also tried opening another terminal in the different directory but it's not working 

```
gnome-terminal --working-directory=Downloads
gnome-terminal --working-directory Downloads
gnome-terminal --working-directory /home/avil/Downloads

```

I have also reinstalled both open in terminal extension and gnome-terminal but it's still not working[![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/s4Irl.png)](https://i.stack.imgur.com/s4Irl.png)

Answer: 
* `Open terminal`
* `Go to Preferences`
* To your `profile` of the terminal(if you don't have any, create one)
* In the menu of profile go to `Command`
* Preserve working directory make it `Always`
This fixed for me. Check the picture for more details.

If you want to open terminal in folder with command keys than :  

`shift + F10 E`   

or  

 `Right click with mouse` than press  `E`

There's an "Open in Terminal" command in the context menu of any folder in Nautilus. [Right-click on the folder](https://i.stack.imgur.com/kW0cF.png) and choose the `Open in Terminal` option (between `Revert to Previous Version...` and `Star`.
