gnome-settings

My configuration of Gnome.

It was tested on Debian with Gnome 3.30

Requirements

Gnome

Recommended version: 3.30

Tweaks

Can be installed on Debian-based systems with:

sudo apt install gnome-tweak-tool

Keyboard layout

To add russian language use the following command:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources sources "[('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ru')]"

Keybindings

This commands assume that you didn't add any keybindings in Gnome before. Else you should increase any name of your binding (e.g. if you already have binding with name custom0 than start new bindings with custom1)

# Open new gnome-terminal window on Ctrl+Alt+T
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ name "'open-termiinal'"
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ binding "'<Ctrl><Alt>T'"
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys.custom-keybinding:/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/ command "'gnome-terminal'"

# Save bindings
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.media-keys custom-keybindings "['/org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/media-keys/custom-keybindings/custom0/']"

Input devices

# Use different number of fingers to determine what mouse method to use
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad click-method 'fingers'
# Enable tap to click
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.touchpad tap-to-click true

# Decrease keyboard delay and speed up repeat
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard delay 150
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.peripherals.keyboard repeat-interval 20

# Swap caps-lock and escape keys
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.input-sources xkb-options "['caps:swapescape']"

Themes

Gnome Shell

Don't forget to enable user themes in tweaks

Flat Theme

Wallpaper

First, move your wallpaper image to the home directory with name .wallpaper.jpg

Then set it in gsettings:

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri "file:///home/<your-user>/.wallpaper.jpg"

Terminal

cd /tmp
git clone https://github.com/GalaticStryder/gnome-terminal-colors-dracula
cd gnome-terminal-colors-dracula
./install.sh  # Dircolors setup is not recommended

Extenstions

For extensions installation I recommend using Chrome with Gnome Shell Integration installed.
