System details
Omarchy 3.0.2
What's wrong?
After changing the hardcoded alacritty to terminall there is an issue with validation of .desktop file/home/kolczi/.local/share/applications/nvim.desktop: error: value "$TERMINAL --class=nvim --title=nvim -e nvim -- %F" for key "Exec" in group "Desktop Entry" contains a reserved character '$' outside of a quote
After change from https://github.com/basecamp/omarchy/pull/1648/commits/652677cc7e65887cdf7bb66fd98d9905424fa33e
system loads default nvim.desktop file which is not prepared for nautilus to open a file with it. I tried to submit a pr with a fix but found out that not just anybody can do so haha.
Heres what i found works
