Arch Hyprland Dolphin Terminal konsole not found while trying to run

https://www.lorenzobettini.it/2024/05/f … e_vignette
I am trying to open files in VIM from dolphin after first following the above guide to solve an issue where the "open with" section of dolphin was blank. Vim now appears in the open with section as it should but I get the error "Terminal konsole not found while trying to run /usr/share/applications/vim.desktop." (Note that I am trying to run on the kitty terminal because I am using Hyprland not the konsole terminal which comes from KDE Plasma which I dont even have installed) The manual page below explains that Dolphin uses konsole by default and that it can be changed with the command

kcmshell6 componentchooser

but notes that some users will not have the module and I turn out to be one of those users. (I also do not see component chooser on pacman). The manual then suggests editing ~/.config/kdeglobals by adding the line

TerminalApplication=terminalname

but kdeglobals does not exist. I also tried putting the line of code in a blank kdeglobals I created and rebooted but Dolphin simply ignored it.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dolphin
(Manual section for setting up dolphin with Arch Linux where I am following along with section 2.1)

Thank you for your time I will give more context if needed as soon as I am available.

Re: Arch Hyprland Dolphin Terminal konsole not found while trying to run

Sorry about the (very) late response, but I've encountered the same issue myself today, and I was able to solve it by linking org.kde.konsole.desktop to kitty.desktop in /usr/share/applications (Change kitty for whatever .desktop do you use).

I've tried also to do it on ~/.local/share/applications in order to avoid sudo, but it didn't work. So:

sudo ln -s /usr/share/applications/kitty.desktop /usr/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop
