Have you searched for similar requests?

Yes

I have the full KDE Plasma environment installed, a Niri-based environment for RAM conservation which is my daily driver, and XFCE worst-case scenario fallback. This means I have Konsole, Kitty, Alacritty, and XFCE Terminal installed. $TERMINAL is unset on my machine as it's non-standard. As such, the launcher manually resolves and prioritise Konsole over others.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like having an option to set a preferred terminal manually in the launcher such that the resolution order goes: $TERMINAL, manually chosen, auto resolution.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I could have just set $TERMIINAL and move on, but from my PoV, relying on non-standard convention is flaky. Detecting the parent terminal of the launcher is...a choice, given that users tend to not switch terminal at a whim, but I feel that the implementation can be hacky.

Additional context

No response

Priority

Medium (Would be very useful)

Is this something you would be keen to implement?

Maybe
