Launching Neovim in a specific terminal program

[PremiereStoss]

I know this is going to be an easy question to answer.

I just installed Arch Linux and I have setup Neovim. When I click on the Neovim icon, it opens in 'Console'. I want it to open in 'Terminator'. How do I change that?

Thanks.

1. Copy /usr/share/applications/nvim.desktop to ~/.local/share/applications/nvim.desktop
2. Edit ~/.local/share/applications/nvim.desktop, remove Terminal=true and change Exec=nvim %F to Exec=terminator -e 'nvim %F'

Ok, I found it there. I made the changes but now, Neovim icon does launch anything.

Works perfectly, thanks so much! Sorry, I didn't see that last little bit of code in your example.

Could you please tell me what the -e is for?

Run terminator -h and you will see

Got it, makes sense now. Thanks for all your help!
