Introduce the i3-sensible-{pager,editor,terminal} scripts The former two provide fallbacks in case $PAGER or $EDITOR is not set (which might be more common than you think, because they have to be set in ~/.xsession, not in the shell configuration!) while the latter tries to launch a terminal emulator. The scripts are most prominently used in i3-nagbar, which alerts the user when the configuration is broken for some reason. Also, i3-sensible-terminal is used in the default configuration. This commit does not rely on the shell supporting ${PAGER:-less} anymore, which is not the case for 'fish'. 2011-09-25 13:45:51 -04:00			`#!/bin/sh`

merge the formerly debian-specific x-terminal-emulator patch I think instead of maintaining distribution-specific patches forever, it’s a bit easier to have them applied upstream, especially since they don’t break anything. fixes #876 2014-11-06 13:56:32 -05:00			`# We welcome patches that add distribution-specific mechanisms to find the`
			`# preferred terminal emulator. On Debian, there is the x-terminal-emulator`

Added mate-terminal to i3-sensible-terminal Added the 'mate-terminal' terminal emulator to the list of terminals emulators in i3-sensible-terminal 2015-07-12 08:13:55 -04:00			`for terminal in $TERMINAL x-terminal-emulator urxvt rxvt terminator Eterm aterm xterm gnome-terminal roxterm xfce4-terminal termite lxterminal mate-terminal; do`
Use command -v (built-in) instead of which(1) (Thanks val) fixes #1380 2014-10-23 17:05:01 -04:00			`if command -v $terminal > /dev/null 2>&1; then`
