- 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`:
`gsetings 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}}`
