Anyone good with Linux/Gnome here?
I'm trying to change the default terminal app in Nemo and I'm having issues.
In other news, I got my first Supie order yesterday, seems like a good service. I saved just over $25 when comparing with Countdown, and overnight delivery.
Going to pick up oil + filters for 3 vehicles so hopefully I can motivate myself to get at least one of those done today.
I guess you already found this but just in case you haven't, have you tried the suggestion here?
I've never tried to change the default so can't tell you if it works. I've been using linux as a daily driver for a couple of years now and never considered I might want to change the terminal app. Any suggestions for what one I might want to try out?
Thanks! Solved it by just adding another action, from this section:
In case you want not to replace, but to add "Open in Terminator" in your right-click menu,
[Nemo Action]
Name=Open in Cool Retro Term
Comment=Open the 'terminator' terminal in the selected folder
Exec=cool-retro-term --fullscreen --workdir %F
Icon-Name=cool-retro-term
Selection=any
Extensions=dir;
EscapeSpaces=true
I use sakura running on Debian (on a Chromebook). Did some searching and testing a while ago, and this one fit my purposes the best. Pretty simple but includes tabs, which even though I use tmux, I find helpful to separate out work flow sometimes.
I haven't found any emulation problems to date for what I do. man page|github
So many to choose from, though.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
I just downloaded cool-retro-term to have some fun for a while.
I would recommend that for a nice change if you want to feel like a hacker
