i3-sensible-terminal(1)
=======================
Michael Stapelberg <michael@i3wm.org>
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

* terminator
* Eterm
* aterm
* xterm
* gnome-terminal
* roxterm
* xfce4-terminal
2015-03-12 00:41:43 -04:00
Please dont complain about the order: If the user has any preference, they will
have $TERMINAL set or modified their i3 configuration file.
