GSettings

The gsettings utility provides a way to get to GSettings which is more or less like a Windows registry containing key value pairs.

GSetting values are different for each user. To modify or view values for a different user, launch a dbus session as the user via sudo:

# sudo -H -u lightdm dbus-launch --exit-with-session gsettings list-recursively

Gnome Terminal

Have control tab working, run:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Keybindings:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/keybindings/ next-tab '<Primary>Tab'
$ gsettings set org.gnome.Terminal.Legacy.Keybindings:/org/gnome/terminal/legacy/keybindings/ prev-tab '<Primary><Shift>Tab'

Desktop Icons

To enable desktop icons:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons true

Nautilus No Breadcrumbs

Change the path with ctrl+l. To make it permanent, set the appropriate key with gsettings:

$ gsettings set org.gnome.nautilus.preferences always-use-location-entry true

Screensaver Timeout

The amount of idle time before the screensaver starts is set using:

# gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay
uint32 60
# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.session idle-delay 3600

The amount of time before the screen is locked is set:

## Instantly locks when the screensaver starts
# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 0
## Or a delay in seconds. Eg: 1 minute
# gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.screensaver lock-delay 60

Adjust Notification Location

The notification popup toast can be adjusted with the "Panel OSD" shell extension.

Dash to Panel

Install the "Dash to Panel" extension to make the gnome shell look sane.

Nextcloud

Nextcloud requires libgnome-keyring. Otherwise, it will prompt for a login everytime it starts.

This also requires that the gnome-keyring starts. Ensure that gnome-keyring-daemon is in the .xinitrc file or configure your .bash_profile with:

if [ -n "$DESKTOP_SESSION" ];then
    eval $(gnome-keyring-daemon --start)
    export SSH_AUTH_SOCK
fi
