I am looking for a way to make tilda my default terminal. It would be achieved with 

# update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
There are 5 choices for the alternative x-terminal-emulator (providing /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator).

  Selection    Path                             Priority   Status
------------------------------------------------------------
* 0            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        auto mode
  1            /usr/bin/gnome-terminal.wrapper   40        manual mode
  2            /usr/bin/koi8rxterm               20        manual mode
  3            /usr/bin/lxterm                   30        manual mode
  4            /usr/bin/uxterm                   20        manual mode
  5            /usr/bin/xterm                    20        manual mode

Tilda does not appear in this list though properly installed.

How is this list generated and how do I add /usr/bin/tilda in it?

  • Thanks for the link. What would be the `` in the command `update-alternatives --install x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/tilda 0` – user123456 Oct 15 '16 at 20:23

1.Add tilda to the list of terminals:

update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/tilda 0

2.set x-terminal-emulator to tilda

update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/tilda

PS: valid on Ubuntu 16.04
