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.

I ran into the same problem some time ago. My solution is not ideal, but it works fine. In gnome-terminal --preferences go to profile -> command, and as custom command I put open-wezterm-here. This could be the terminal you're using. Set 'when commands exits' to Exit terminal. It does show gnome-terminal for a split second. But that doesn't really bother me anymore.
