I'm using Linux Minte Debian Edition, with the MATE desktop.

In Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts, I've set Desktop/Run a terminal to my favorite key combination (Mod4+Space).

When I use this, I get the MATE-Terminal. I'm used to ROXterm, so I have that one installed and I've set the x-terminal-emulator accordingly with update-alternatives.

But when I use the key combination, I still get MATE-Terminal.

How do I change this?

Why not just Add a custom action yourself and bind the keys to that?

All you would need to do is click "+Add" and then use the command roxterm to execute, once you hit Apply you can simply bind the keys.

It's not directly what you are looking for, but non-the-less a solution.

P.S. - In the future, you may want to work on your accept rate, it gives people more of an incentive to help you out.

Gsettings specify key-bindings in several sets, and can be explored using dconf-editor or using gsettings commands (gsettings list-schemas | grep [string]). The command required to run an alternative terminal in terminal should be entered as the command in an alternative key combination. The default keyboard shortcut doesn't change when a new term is available, and clearly still points to the MATE term.

With Marco installed, keybinding sets are:

org.mate.Marco.window-keybindings
org.mate.Marco.global-keybindings
org.mate.Marco.keybinding-commands
org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings

...as well as org.mate.terminal.keybindings for keys inside mate-terminal.

The default open term shortcut is by default at org.mate.Marco.global-keybindings run-command-terminal. Add another key using one of the above sets.
