Change default terminal to tilix terminal using shortcut

Question

On Ubuntu whenever I click Ctrl+Alt+T, it will open the default terminal of Ubuntu. Now I want this shortcut to open my tilix terminal. How can I do this?

Solution

You can change your default terminal application via update-alternatives. The following is how you do it.

1. Open your current terminal.
2. Run this command, sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
3. It will show several terminal applications that are installed on your system. Type the number corresponding to Tilix. Press Enter.

Now you can try to press CTRL+ALT+T and Tilix should show up.

I hope this helps.
