Ubuntu – How to change the terminal to Alacritty in “Open in Terminal” context mneu

command linecontext menu

I currently using Alacritty terminal. Shortcut works fine. But when I click "Open in Terminal" in context menu, it still pops up the gnome terminal. So is there any way I could change to Alacritty?

Best Answer

I installed manually and put the executable in /usr/local/bin

I run this command taken from here to add an alacritty alternative:

sudo update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator /usr/local/bin/alacritty 50

then I run @walttheboss command:

sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator

If you want remove alacritty alternative this is the command:

sudo update-alternatives --remove "x-terminal-emulator" "/usr/local/bin/alacritty"
