Using QQ: How can I make Byobu the default terminal [duplicate]

I really like the Byobu terminal better than the default Gnome terminal that is installed with Ubuntu.

How can I make Byobu the default terminal - for example, when I hit control/alt-t I'd like to see Byobu instead of the default Gnome terminal?


  1. Open Gnome Terminal
  2. Click on Edit -> Profile Preferences
  3. Go to Title and Command tab
  4. Check Run a custom command instead of my shell
  5. Set your Custom command to
    • /usr/bin/byobu

Full disclosure: I'm the author and maintainer of Byobu.
