[FEATURE] Launch Neovim from Nautilus #252

Open
@pendula95

Description

@pendula95

Describe the bug
Nautilus is not able to open files that require terminal to run. I think this issue is that it is hard coded to use gnom-terminal and will not use alacritty to launch apps like vim, nvim. There is a workaround to edit .desktop entry of nvim and change

Exec=alacritty -e nvim %F
Terminal=false

I am not sure if this is 100% correct thing to do as a workaround.
Issue might get resolved by #215

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Open Nautilus and try to open any txt file. As Neovim is default option it will fail straight away, nothing will happen. Even if you right click it and click open with.. and select nvim or vim it will fail.

Expected behavior
If nvim is your editor for txt files it should open a new terminal window with selected file opened.
