I am using Konsole as a terminal to contribute to wikimedia pages. I use Konsole because unlike most terminal emulators it supports CTL (complex text layout) so I can clearly read my language (Tamil) in Konsole. The default terminal of Geany is not so good. I want to change the default terminal. ...
Another interesting issue relating to Indian languages on Ubuntu was that someone decided that Indian language keyboard layouts should be removed from the Ubuntu default installation and repositories because "they aren't useful". Gunnar Hjalmarsson posted an answer about to some questions about "hey where's my keyboard layout"
The reason someone might consider those layouts not useful is that they are only familiar with one or some that are really difficult to write with a keyboard layout. I guess one such could be Urdu, because the word-position of letters determines their form (I learned how to write Persian script about 15 years ago so I understand this issue somewhat, but I don't know Urdu as such).
But that doesn't apply to all Indian languages... it's completely possible to write Tamil with a keyboard layout (rather than a phonetic method), for example
anyway, happily, there was a bug report, and the layouts came back (in 17.10 I think)
it's because I discussed that issue with Gunnar that I think of him as a language support expert
@Zanna We should be able to answer that. In its Preferences dialog, Geany has a Tools tab. One of the tools is "Terminal," with a default value of:
x-terminal-emulator -e "/bin/sh %c"
That can be changed to anything.
The lazy approach to answering the question would be to say to write konsole in place of x-terminal-emulator, but the OP probably wants x-terminal-emulator to run Konsole anywhere else it is used, too, so reconfiguring what it runs is probably best.
