Set the Default Terminal

As there is no standardized way to set a default terminal emulator on a Linux desktop system, Vicinae honors the x-scheme-handler/terminal as some other launchers do.

To set your default terminal in this way, run:

xdg-mime default {desktop_file_name}.desktop x-scheme-handler/terminal

Where {desktop_file_name} is the name of the desktop file your application maps to.

For example, to set the default terminal to Alacritty:

xdg-mime default Alacritty.desktop x-scheme-handler/terminal
