dconf-write: Write a specific empty array key value.
$ dconf write ${-path-to-key} "@as []"
try on your machine

The dconf write ${-path-to-key} "@as []" command is used to set the value of a key in the dconf database to an empty list ([]).

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • dconf: command-line tool for manipulating dconf settings.
  • write: subcommand used to modify a value in the dconf database.
  • ${-path-to-key}: placeholder representing the specific path to the key you want to modify. You need to replace it with the actual path to the key.
  • "@as []": the value to be assigned to the key.

In this case, "@as []" sets the value of the key to an empty list ([]), indicating that there are no elements in that particular setting.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
