Gnome 3 Tricks

Change the Nautilus address bar

Nothing is easier than this CTRL + L
To make this change permanent you need a tool named dconf-editor. With this tool go to the path: org –> gnome –> nautilus –> preferences and change the variable always-use-location-antry

Start new terminal with shortcuts

In EL10 there is no more gnome-terminal. Instead you can use ptyxis. To start a new window: 

/usr/bin/ptyxis --new-window

Change volume via CLI/SSH

Increase/Decrease Volume by 20% 

root@jukebox:~# sudo -u USER XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/USERID wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 20%+
root@jukebox:~# sudo -u USER XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/USERID wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 20%-
# example:
root@jukebox:~# sudo -u music XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1050 wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 20%+
root@jukebox:~# sudo -u music XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1050 wpctl set-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@ 20%-

Get current Volume 

sudo -u USER XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/USERID wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@
# example:
sudo -u music XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1050 wpctl get-volume @DEFAULT_AUDIO_SINK@

To save some time and typeing I use an alias 

alias wpctl-USER='sudo -u USER XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/USERID wpctl'
# example:
alias wpctl-music='sudo -u music XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/1050 wpctl'
