My Terminal Configurations - kitty, xfce4 & Gnome

My Terminal Configurations

This repository contains my terminal configuration setups for xfce4 and gnome terminal.

Clone the repo

git clone https://github.com/justicenyaga/terminal-config.git

xfce4 Terminal

Install xfce4 Terminal

Run the following command to install xfce4 terminal

sudo apt install xfce4-terminal

Set xfce4 Terminal as the default terminal emulator

This step is optional. If you want to set xfce4 terminal as the default terminal emulator, run the following commands

sudo update-alternatives --set x-terminal-emulator /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal.wrapper
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec 'xfce4-terminal'

Overwrite Open Terminal shotcut (Ubuntu)

Go to Settings -> Keyboard -> Keyboard Shortcuts (View and Customize Shortcuts) -> Custom Shortcuts and create a new shortcut.

Name: Launch XFCE Terminal
Command: exo-open --launch TerminalEmulator
Shortcut: Ctrl + Alt + T

This will overwrite the default shortcut that launches gnome-terminal.

Configuration Script

Run the setup script to configure xfce4 terminal

cd terminal-config && sh setup.sh

Gnome Terminal

To apply the profile configuration file on a given profile, run the following command:

dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:profile_id < profile.dconf

Replace "profile_id" with the specific ID of the profile you wish to overwrite. You can use the tab key for convenient autocompletion of the profile_id.

Ensure you have CodeNewRoman Nerd Font Mono installed. If it's not already installed, you can find it in the attached copy on this repository and install it from there..
