KDE 5

Default / all users....
/usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/xdg/kscreenlockerrc

user specific / override default ...

~/.config/kscreenlockerrc

Eg. entry

[Daemon]
Autolock=false
LockGrace=10
Timeout=10

Wasted half a day googling/trying to figure this out. Ultimately changed the setting in the GUI and did a find for all files altered in last 2 minutes which found the user file, then did a find on that name from /

kreadconfig5 --group Daemon --key Autolock --file /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/xdg/kscreenlockerrc
false
kwriteconfig5 --group Daemon --key Autolock --file /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/xdg/kscreenlockerrc true
kreadconfig5 --group Daemon --key Autolock --file /usr/share/kde-settings/kde-profile/default/xdg/kscreenlockerrc
true

Though it seems you still have to logout and back in for the settings change to have any effect unless you do it through the gui.

you have a missing letter "u" in the main description menu "configration"

By plasma-apply-lookandfeel -a <global-theme-name> it is possible to set a Global Theme but without Desktop and Window layout. How can we set also the Desktop and Window layout by CLI when we set a global theme? On the GUI we can do it by selecting:

but by command line is not clear.

Hello there!

I was trying to actually look up which files might be the configuration for file associations and I found this.

I'll include here the important part of the link I provided as a quick reference.

• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/$desktop-mimeapps.list
  • user overrides, desktop-specific (for advanced users)
• $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mimeapps.list
  • user overrides (recommended location for user configuration GUIs)
• $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/$desktop-mimeapps.list
  • sysadmin and ISV overrides, desktop-specific
• $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/mimeapps.list
  • sysadmin and ISV overrides
• $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/$desktop-mimeapps.list
  • for completeness, deprecated, desktop-specific
• $XDG_DATA_HOME/applications/mimeapps.list
  • for compatibility, deprecated
• $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/$desktop-mimeapps.list
  • distribution-provided defaults, desktop-specific
• $XDG_DATA_DIRS/applications/mimeapps.list
  • distribution-provided defaults

I used some of your commands to change the settings of KDE plasma! I confirm that the config file content has changed according to the command!
However, somehow Plasma still not changes accordingly to the changes in config files even after reboot!
If you have any solution, pls share it! thank you so much!

is it possible to use
kcmshell5 kwinscreenedges
to set the screen corners/edges actions?
I specifically need to do this on the command line. (to set and disable minimize all when i am in a particular game, or not)

Plasma has the weird default of opening files/folders by single-click. The option to change this is in Workspace Behavior > General Behavior.

But my .config/plasmarc has nothing about that. I don't know where General Behavior settings are actually stored and would like to know, because running Dolphin as root is still opening files/folders by single-click.

Edit: well, at least the single-click setting is in .config/kdeglobals.

[KDE]
SingleClick=false

so far in ubuntu 20.04 my KDE apps are following the gnome system setting. I cannot find any of your theme related settings in my ~/.config or ~/.local. Do you aware if there is some place to set those values system wide? I tried kreadconfig5, it is useless and cannot give me any system default value.

Is there a unified place for widget configuration (files)?

Thanks for this cheatsheet, have wondered about these configs for a while now...
