i3-sensible-terminal(1) ======================= Michael Stapelberg v4.2, August 2012 == 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) * urxvt * rxvt * termit * terminator * Eterm * aterm * uxterm * xterm * gnome-terminal * roxterm * xfce4-terminal * termite * lxterminal * mate-terminal * 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. == SEE ALSO i3(1) == AUTHOR Michael Stapelberg and contributors
