While the default gnome terminal works and gets the job done, i do prefer using a terminal like Blackbox, one that can be customized to be visually pleasing.
While i have been able to replace the default terminal behaviour with a tool like dconf-editor, i still struggle a fair amount changing the context menu in nautilus:
"Open in Terminal"
How can i open the blackbox terminal when i click Open in Terminal? Surely there's a way to do this..
I followed this, and after realising it wasn't working too well, i ended up getting rid of it and now i don't have an entry for Open in Terminal at all.
The problem might be because Blackbox is installed as a Flatpak. But following the instructions from that Nautilus extension, it should be possible to do it:
Install the Nautilus extension. For convenience I've downloaded the binary file from the releases page, and installed it:
You might get a warning message saying something like:
N: Download is performed unsandboxed as root as file '/home/zenzen/Downloads/nautilus-extension-any-terminal_0.6.0-1_all.deb' couldn't be accessed by user '_apt'. - pkgAcquire::Run (13: Permission denied)
But is safe to ignore. Then, just apply the change with the newly available settings provided by this package:
gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal terminal blackbox
gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal keybindings '<Ctrl><Alt>t'
gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal new-tab true
gsettings set com.github.stunkymonkey.nautilus-open-any-terminal flatpak system
Wow that seemed incredibly easy. It worked straight away with those commands. I used dconf-editor to change those keys, so i don't know where i went wrong. But it works now, thanks for your help =D
