How do I change the terminal that gets opened with "Open in Terminal" in GNOME Nautilus? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I've tried every tutorial I could find. From symlinking the desired terminal to gnome-terminal, or using the update-alternatives command to using the gsettings command to set the default terminal. Nothing works.

What is the definitive way to set the default terminal for this GUI action? And why is this so hard to do?!

I'm on Fedora if it's relevant.

Since you have Nautilus, i'm assuming you have the rest of GNOME too.

GNOME Settings should have a default apps tab, so you should be able to change it from there.

Otherwise, org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec 'desired-terminal', and obviously don't forget to swap that for whichever one you want to use

As I said I have tried this and it isn't working.
