Dolphin --> Change Terminal from Konsole [Solved]

I am running Openbox and using Dolhin as my file manager. I like the prorgram but I perfer Gnome-Terminal.

So I wanted to change the shortcut to open a terminal from Konsole to Gnome-Terminal but I can't seem to find the configuration file to change. 

Any ideas ?

Thanks in advance for your resonse.    big_smile

I don't use Openbox, but wouldn't you need to edit the ~/.config/openbox/rc.xml configuration file.
I think there should be some keybind tag, that contains subtags about name and command.

EDIT: Sorry, I think I misunderstood. You probably want to change which terminal is shown in Dolphin. I don't know how to do that.

Re: Dolphin --> Change Terminal from Konsole [Solved]

Thank You both for your replies. I was actually looking to change the default terminal used by Dolphin itself not my openbox menu.


Like in other file managers if you select the terminal option it opens in the directory you are in. In Dolphin it is F4 but there is no option to change from 'Konsole' to any other termnal.  sad

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KParts#KParts - you can use only Konsole (Konsole's KPart) as an embedded terminal in Dolphin.

Re: Dolphin --> Change Terminal from Konsole [Solved]

That's not true. At least, if you are using KDE, you can change the default applications (including the default terminal emulator) for all KDE applications. There's a system settings thing to do it graphically but I assume you can also do it in the appropriate config file if you can identify it. Since this works in KDE, kparts must be able to use other default applications.

Re: Dolphin --> Change Terminal from Konsole [Solved]

Pressing F4 in Dolphin makes an embedded konsolepart pop up at the bottom of its window. Konqueror nowadays uses dolphinpart for file management, and you have an option of opening documents directly in its window, thanks to okularpart. You can make web browsers use KParts, which allows you to browse PDFs or archives directly in your browser's tabs with the use of KDE software. You can set Evince as a default program for PDFs, clicking on a PDF file in Dolphin or Konqueror would then open Evince's window with a chosen document, but you can't have Evince embedded directly in Konqueror's or web browser's tab.

Oh, I see. I thought the OP just wanted to change the default terminal emulator used by Dolphin not the terminal part in Dolphin.
