My $TERMINAL is set to "gnome-terminal" | |
When introducing a typo in my i3 config, the nagbar is started this way (as seen in processes) : | |
i3-nagbar -t error -m You have an error in your i3 config file! -b edit config i3-sensible-terminal -e sh -c "i3-sensible-editor \"/home/user/.i3/config\" && i3-msg reload" -b show errors i3-sensible-terminal -e i3-sensible-pager "/tmp/i3-user.6swBVu/errorlog.11524" | |
Clicking 'edit config' or 'show errors' spaws a new window that disappear immediately. | |
The problem is that gnome-terminal expects a single argument after '-e', while other terminals are ok with that since -e is the last argument that can appear on their command line. Thus, the whole `sh -c "i3-sensible-editor \"/home/user/.i3/config\"` should be quoted. | |
When trying from a command line, it works quoted, it doesn't unquoted. | |
The attached diff should solve the problem for gnome-terminal. |
