wf-gsettings

GSettings plugin for Wayfire.

install latest Wayfire, GLib, xsltproc (from libxslt)
install this (regular Meson build)
(for both Wayfire and this, use a prefix that gets read by GSettings!)
run wf-gsettings-gen-schemas
- rerun when updating Wayfire/plugins
- it generates GSettings schemas from Wayfire plugin metadata
  - schemas are named org.wayfire.plugin.<name>
- and runs glib-compile-schemas for you
import your settings into dconf, if you want (the ini file won't be read at all!)
start Wayfire with new args: -B PREFIX/lib/wayfire/libgsettings.so
- (PREFIX being /usr/local, /usr, $HOME/.local… wherever you've installed it)
- also make sure you're in a D-Bus session when starting Wayfire! You should already be if using logind. Otherwise start Wayfire via dbus-run-session.
play around with dconf-editor

Editing settings via CLI

Read:

% dconf dump /org/wayfire
[gsettings]
dyn-sections=['output:DP-1', 'wallpaper:w1']

[section/output/DP-1]
scale=2.0

[section/wallpaper/w1]
path='/usr/local/share/backgrounds/gnome/adwaita-day.jpg'

[section/blur]
mode='toggle'
toggle='<alt> BTN_MIDDLE'

[section/command]
bindings={'term': ('alacritty', '<super> KEY_ENTER')}
repeatable-bindings={'vup': ('pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +2%', 'KEY_VOLUMEUP'), 'vdn': ('pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -2%', 'KEY_VOLUMEDOWN')}
…

You can save that into a file and then restore with dconf load /org/wayfire.

Also, note the /org/wayfire/gsettings/dyn-sections key in the example. You must put the names of dynamic sections (like outputs) there.

Write (you only need dbus-launch if outside the dbus session):

% dbus-launch dconf write /org/wayfire/section/core/plugins "'animate annotate mag cube expo resize command oswitch grid window-rules autostart wrot place invert move switcher fast-switcher  alpha mod2key idle vswitch scale  vswipe wm-actions showrepaint wallpaper'"
