• 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}}
