1 i3-sensible-terminal(1)

8 i3-sensible-terminal - launches $TERMINAL with fallbacks
12 i3-sensible-terminal [arguments]
16 i3-sensible-terminal is invoked in the i3 default config to start a terminal.
17 This wrapper script is necessary since there is no distribution-independent
18 terminal launcher (but for example Debian has x-terminal-emulator).
19 Distribution packagers are responsible for shipping this script in a way which
20 is appropriate for the distribution.
22 It tries to start one of the following (in that order):
24 * $TERMINAL (this is a non-standard variable)
25 * x-terminal-emulator (only present on Debian and derivatives)
53 Please don’t complain about the order: If the user has any preference, they will
54 have $TERMINAL set or modified their i3 configuration file.
