How to change default terminal emulator?

Issues & Assistance
1

I am on KDE Plasma 6, and the default terminal emulator is set to Konsole.
I’d like to change this to Alacritty.
After searching online and the Archwiki, I’ve tried:

  • changing in Plasma Settings > Apps & Windows > Default Applications > Terminal >> Alacritty
    • This setting stays, but when I open with ctrl alt T, it still opens Konsole.
  • tried to run command: sudo update-alternatives --config x-terminal-emulator
    • get error message sudo: update-alternatives: command not found
  • tried to update ~/.profile to add export TERM=alacritty
    • no change. Then I read about how not to manually change $TERM variable, so I went back and changed ~/.profile back the way it was before.

What am I missing here? Thanks!

In fact you have to modify the shortcuts in the keyboard section of the Plasma settings cause it is still associated to Konsole there.

Thank you! That worked great. Just had to uncheck the shortcut for Konsole and add the same one for Alacritty.
