Hi, I’m a fairly new user of Remote.it on a Linux Mint 21.3 PC and I’d like to change de default terminal that is usually launched on a remote SSH connection. In the Remote.it app there is no setting to choose the CLI terminal that is launched by default. Can this setting be changed in a config file on my local machine ? thanks in advance, Mike ---

Nevermind … I found a workaround that’s just as fine 😉 ---

The default application is a setting of your local machine, but if you are using the Remote.It Desktop Application you can set the Connection configuration for SSH connections. See this article for how to do this. [https://link.remote.it/support/connection-settings](https://link.remote.it/support/connection-settings)
