I'm new to Arch Linux and using Kitty as my terminal after removing Konsole while on KDE Plasma. However, whenever I try to launch Neovim, I encounter an error stating that 'Terminal konsole not found' while trying to open the file at /usr/share/applications/nvim.desktop. I tried reinstalling Konsole using 'sudo pacman -S konsole', but it returns an error and doesn't upgrade any packages. I'm looking for guidance on how to resolve this issue. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Just a quick tip: you usually launch Neovim by simply typing 'nvim' in the terminal. But I get your question about using the application shortcut—there's likely a configuration issue there.
Remember to provide details about your distro and any error messages in your future questions. It helps a lot! Also, if you want to keep using the shortcut without errors, you might need to tweak the .desktop file or create a new one that points to Kitty instead.
Look at the Arch Wiki page about your error. It seems like you're encountering some package conflicts with Konsole. Without knowing the specific error message, it's tough to point out the exact issue, but definitely check if it's something with conflicting files when you try installing it again.
It sounds like you might need to set Kitty as your default terminal properly in your system settings. Check if that's configured right because Neovim seems to be still looking for Konsole instead.
I did set Kitty as my default terminal, but I might need to remove any lingering Konsole files eventually.
The error message says: 'error: failed to commit transaction (conflicting files) konsole: /usr/share/applications/org.kde.konsole.desktop exists in file system.' Any thoughts on that?
