Hello guys, how to change default terminal??
I want to change terminal to kitty and updated shortcut command in ~/.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc but not appear.
have you reload sxhkdrc after change?
Yes, i do that too but not changed
Are you sure that you’re not using a sxhkdrc located somewhere else?
Nope
I think you meant to reply with yes? Well if the path in your autostart.sh pointing to sxhkdrc is correct and you did reload it after editing all is left is that you did not edit the file correctly.
Post the part of the file you have modified.
Here is my config

pacman -Q | grep kitty
Here the result

kitty-shell-integration 0.26.3-1
kitty-terminfo 0.26.3-1
And your sxkhdrc

Like @anon79429890 said. Save the file and reload your sxkhd with super + escape.
Really it is that easy.
I have done this too but when I press Super + Return it does not show kitty terminal
I wonder why
What happens when you press super + return after the changes? And you did reload sxkhd right?
yes, it has been reloaded, but it still doesn’t show my terminal
So nothing happens? Or do you get another terminal??
yes it doesn’t show anything, tried another terminal still the same
