# ── Default terminal for "Terminal=true" apps ──
# Opening a text file from Thunar picks an editor through GIO; when that is
# a terminal app (nvim), GIO needs a terminal and only knows a fixed list
# that has no kitty — hence "Unable to find terminal required for
# application". GIO asks xdg-terminal-exec first, and this file tells it to
# use kitty. Left alone when it already exists.
