I see; I didn't realise Nautilus still had that feature. I thought I'd just
found a "hidden" option for this in dconf, but the schema for
"org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal" says "DEPRECATED: This
key is deprecated and ignored. The default terminal is handled in GIO." I
Googled a bit more, and there are two problems: 1. GIO has a hardwired list
of terminals to try. 2. Nautilus doesn't use GIO anyway; this feature is
provided by a plugin which uses gnome-terminal's dbus interface and won't
work with anything else.

If you wanted to use Tilix instead, you're in luck, because that apparently
provides a similar extension.
