If you search the forum you should be able to find it.
There was that almost exact question not too long ago and I explained it there.
I can’t remember right now the answer to your question.
I’ll have a look - but please do the same.
I believe it’s defined by i3-sensible-terminal which is a script that has a hardcoded list of terminal emulators which it’ll follow and use the first one.
You could remove the ones it wants to execute or you simply change the config file to run the terminal you like.
I didn’t propose this. I said they should remove those terminals that have precedence over xfce’s.
(For my i3 config, it’s not terminal but the one I’ve mentioned. Did I change this? Or where does it come from?)
I installed the recent manjaro i3 - and looked at how it’s done there.
I don’t have it in memory - and would have to boot up the i3 installation
i3-sensible-terminal was not the thing to adapt
(too specific)
but rather /usr/bin/terminal was the place it all came from.
That’s what I found - and what worked in the end.
It’s all in the thread (it’s not terribly long).
of course this works too - IIRC there was some kind of list
if you remove (or only have installed) certain terminals, then this can work as well
IIRC
