Switch between Desktop and Command-line with Dragbox
What could be the easiest way to move files and directories from our Desktop, to the Terminal – – Dragbox (could be the answer). Even though one can directly drag and drop lines from a webpage or files from the desktop directly on the Terminal, Dragbox can be used as a clipboard to momentarily keep text strings, or a list of files before dropping them into the Terminal to carry-out an operation.
This project is still in its initial phase, version 0.3.0, and certainly has bugs, but it runs well on Gnome Desktops and has a good margin for improvement.

Thank you for writing about this. Please email me if you have found any serious bugs. If you go to the dragbox homepage you can also find two places to file bugs — for the debian package or in general at gna.org. Cheers!
