Tilix terminfo entry

[konsbn]

I wish to use tilix as the default terminal on my Fedora 35 running Gnome. However when I tried export TERM=tilix I got this error zsh: can't find terminal definition for tilix. Upon looking into my term info directory under t/ I got this

t
├── teraterm
├── teraterm2.3
├── tmux
├── tmux-256color
└── tmux-direct

0 directories, 5 files

I see no entry for tilix. Please help me with generating a new entry for tilix Thanks

tilix is "just" a facade over vte, and it adds/modifies nothing in the realm of terminal control sequences, its proper terminal description in ncurses is vte. Like the regular "gnome-terminal", setting TERM to other values will demonstrate bugs and deficiencies in vte.

As I remember in Gnome environment default terminal is set in gsettings

$ gsettings list-keys org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal
exec-arg
exec

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec
'gnome-terminal'

$ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg
'-x'

Try gsettings help set

I don't want to use the gnome-terminal I want to use tilix

Set Tilix as default:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec 'tilix'
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg '-e'
