Description Nrbrtx 2016-08-20 18:13:55 UTC
Steps to reproduce:
1. Launch dconf-editor from Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS (dconf-editor version 3.18.2).
2. Navigate to any key
3. Try to copy key's Name with mouse or with keyboard

Expected behavior:
User can copy key's Name and use for example for console commands like 'gsettings set org.mate.interface gtk-theme Radiance'.

Actual behavior:
User can't copy key's Name.

Thanks for taking the time to report the bug. This issue has been adressed in the 3.20 release of dconf-editor (IIRC), by a “copy” action that directly puts in the clipboard the path, name and value of the key (“org.mate.interface gtk-theme 'Radiance'” in your example), making `gsettings` use easier.

I don’t plan to maintain anymore the 3.18 version (some Vala changes make it hard to compile now, and I have some remaining work on the current version), so I won’t work on a patch for that ; if you bring a light working patch for it, I might have a look on it, that’s all. If you do so, please reopen.
