dconf-write: Write a specific array key value.

dconf

$ dconf write ${-path-to-key} "[${'first', 'second', ---}]"

try on your machine

This command is using the dconf command-line tool to write a value to a key in the dconf database. Dconf is a low-level configuration system used in Linux-based operating systems.

The command includes the following parts:

dconf write: Invokes the dconf command to write a value to a key.
${-path-to-key}: Represents the path to the key in the dconf database. It should be replaced with the actual path to the key. The key path is a hierarchical structure that organizes the configuration settings.
"[${'first', 'second', ---}]": Represents the value that will be assigned to the key. The value is enclosed in double quotes to be treated as a string by the shell. Inside the value, ${'first', 'second', ---} is used to define a list of elements. However, the use of ${'first', 'second', ---} is not valid syntax in most programming languages. It appears to be a placeholder representing multiple elements, which should be replaced with the actual values you want to assign to the key.

To use this command correctly, you need to replace ${-path-to-key} with the actual key path and replace ${'first', 'second', ---} with the desired values for that key.
