How change default terminal in "open in terminal" in GIO

Question

I want to use terminator instead of default terminal in Ubuntu mate. I changed it in dconf Editor but the entry is DEPRECATED because managed by GIO.

What is GIO ? The typical way to changing the best way to change terminal is through gsettings . Shouldn't be any different in Mate — Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy, Jan 23 '16 at 22:51

Right, thank you

It was done with gsettings

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec /usr/bin/terminator
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec-arg "-x"

This is the same setting, whether edited by dconf Editor or by gsettings. It is DEPRECATED as mentioned in the question. – Amith Jan 27 '23 at 09:04
