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
-
•

-
•
uxterm

•
xterm

•
roxterm

•

•

•

•
qterminal

•

•
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.
