NAME
i3-sensible-terminal - launches $TERMINAL with fallbacks
SYNOPSIS
i3-sensible-terminal [arguments]
DESCRIPTION
i3-sensible-terminal is invoked in the i3 default config to start a terminal. This wrapper script is necessary since there is no distribution-independent terminal launcher (but for example Debian has x-terminal-emulator). Distribution packagers are responsible for shipping this script in a way which is appropriate for the distribution.
It tries to start one of the following (in that order):
·
$TERMINAL (this is a non-standard variable)
·
x-terminal-emulator (only present on Debian and derivatives)
·
mate-terminal
·
gnome-terminal
·
terminator
·
xfce4-terminal
·
urxvt
·
rxvt
·
termit
·
Eterm
·
aterm
·
uxterm
·
xterm
·
roxterm
·
termite
·
lxterminal
·
terminology
·
st
·
qterminal
·
lilyterm
·
tilix
·
terminix
·
konsole
·
kitty
·
guake
·
tilda
·
alacritty
·
hyper
Please don’t complain about the order: If the user has any preference, they will have $TERMINAL set or modified their i3 configuration file.
