kreadconfig5: Read a key from the global configuration.
$ kreadconfig5 --group ${group_name} --key ${key_name}
try on your machine

The command "kreadconfig5" is used to read a configuration value in KDE Plasma 5. It allows you to retrieve the value of a specific key within a specific group from the KDE configuration system.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

  • "kreadconfig5": This is the command itself, which is used to read KDE configuration values.
  • "--group ${group_name}": This option specifies the group name from which you want to retrieve the configuration value. You need to replace "${group_name}" with the actual name of the group you are targeting.
  • "--key ${key_name}": This option specifies the key name of the configuration value you want to retrieve. Again, you need to replace "${key_name}" with the actual name of the key you are targeting.

By running this command with the appropriate group and key names, you will get the corresponding configuration value printed in the terminal.
