On Linux file manager, I think Dolphin (not sure right now, sorry) I can open Konsole just hitting F4. I would like to have the same on MacOS/Finder, openning Terminal instead. Is it possible?
I'm on El Captain.

How does an Automator service containing an Applescript , triggered from standard key commands sound? I'll add it as an answer if that will do you. – Tetsujin Oct 28 '16 at 16:42

"Automator service containing an Applescript , triggered from standard key commands" seems interestingly. I would like to know more. – KcFnMi Oct 28 '16 at 16:59

I use Go2Shell for that purpose. It's a free app which can be added to Finder. Clicking on it will open a new Terminal window with the current directory.
You can get it on the Mac App Store.

You could do it with a Service [a Service is just the best/simplest way to launch an app via key command, saves having to define plists etc]
If you just need to launch a default Terminal, very simply...
- Launch Automator [Applications/Utilities]
- Select New Service
- In the Actions list on the left, Select Automator, then Run Applescript from the 2nd column.
- Copy/paste
tell application "Terminal" to activate
between the on run & end run commands. Save [It will automatically save to the correct place for Services.
Open System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts > Services. Your new service will be right at the bottom of the list.
- Add a hot key
If you need to open Terminal at your current location, that already exists as a built-in Service, just find it in the list, activate & supply a key command.
