✨ 00-UPSTREAM-SETTINGS(5) ✨

okay bestie, so this is a section 5 page — that's the "file formats and conventions" girlies — and it's all about the dconf config file that holds IBus's default settings. pull up a chair 💖

NAME

00-upstream-settings — literally the dconf configuration file, that's her whole deal 💅

SYNOPSIS

/etc/dconf/db/ibus.d/00-upstream-settings

that's it. that's the path. no args, no flags, just a file sitting there living its truth 🦋

DESCRIPTION

so first, the vibe check on what IBus even is: IBus is an Intelligent Input Bus. it's a whole new input framework for Linux OS, no cap 🌸. it gives you a fully featured and user friendly input method user interface — iconic — and it also helps developers build input methods easily, which is lowkey such a serve for the devs out there 🫶.

now, 00-upstream-settings is a text configuration file of dconf, and it can be converted to /etc/dconf/db/ibus by the dconf update command — but only if you have write privilege in /etc/dconf/db, so know your permissions before you start acting up 🔥.

and /etc/dconf/db/ibus? that's a database file of dconf, and it saves the IBus default settings. the saved keys and values can be readed by the dconf command — yes, "readed", we're keeping it, it's canon 😭.

like, for example, this exact energy:

env DCONF_PROFILE=ibus dconf list /desktop/ibus/

run that and the keys come through. periodt 💜
