  • Set the value of a key. Fails if the key doesn't exist or the value is out of range:
    gsettings set org.example.schema example-key value
  • Print the value of a key or the schema-provided default if the key has not been set in `dconf`:
    gsettings get org.example.schema example-key
  • Unset a key, so that its schema default value will be used:
    gsettings reset org.example.schema example-key
  • Display all (non-relocatable) schemas, keys, and values:
    gsettings list-recursively
  • Display all keys and values (default if not set) from one schema:
    gsettings list-recursively org.example.schema
  • Display schema-allowed values for a key (helpful with enum keys):
    gsettings range org.example.schema example-key
  • Display the human-readable description of a key:
    gsettings describe org.example.schema example-key
