termite as default terminal #729

Closed triyan1975 closed 3 years ago

triyan1975 commented 4 years ago

Please. How to set termite as default terminal? I installed termite but default terminal is still xterm. (Arch + i3 + Gnome environment)

petrposvic commented 4 years ago

Edit .config/i3/config and change command for $mod+Return: # bindsym $mod+Return exec i3-sensible-terminal # bindsym $mod+Return exec xterm -bg grey23 -fg silver -fa 'Monospace' -fs 16 bindsym $mod+Return exec termite

It will not help because xdg-open opens vim in xterm

ffs97 commented 4 years ago

I don't think xdg controls the default terminal (source). Also, in my opinion, this question is not relevant to termite. The reason why xdg is opening vim in xterm might be because you have it set as the default $TERMINAL variable in one of your shell configs (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc)

Termite is obsolete. Please use Alacritty instead. See https://github.com/thestinger/termite#termite-is-obsoleted-by-alacritty for more details.
