I3-SENSIBLE-TERMINAL(1) 	    i3 Manual		 I3-SENSIBLE-TERMINAL(1)

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 termi-
     nal. This wrapper script is necessary since there is no  distribution-inde-
     pendent 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)

     *	 mate-terminal

     *	 gnome-terminal

     *	 terminator

     *	 xfce4-terminal

     *	 urxvt

     *	 rxvt

     *	 termit

     *	 Eterm

     *	 aterm

     *	 uxterm

     *	 xterm

     *	 roxterm

     *	 termite

     *	 lxterminal

     *	 terminology

     *	 st

     *	 qterminal

     *	 lilyterm

     *	 tilix

     *	 terminix

     *	 konsole

     *	 kitty

     *	 guake

     *	 tilda

     *	 alacritty

     *	 hyper

     Please don't complain about the order: If the user has any preference, they
     will have $TERMINAL set or modified their i3 configuration file.
