  <title>Set default favorite applications</title>

  <p>Favorite applications are those visible on the GNOME Shell
  <link href="help:gnome-help/shell-introduction#activities">dash</link>.
  You can use <sys its:translate="no">dconf</sys> to set favorite applications
  for one user, or to set the same favorite applications
  for all users. For both cases, you must first edit the
  <sys its:translate="no">dconf</sys> profile found in
  <file its:translate="no">/etc/dconf/profile/user</file>.</p>

<section id="per-user">
  <title>Set different favorite applications for different users</title>

  <p>You can set the default favorite applications for each user by modifying
  their user database via <cmd>gsettings</cmd>. The following example
  command sets <app>Text Editor</app>,
  <app>Terminal</app> and <app>Files</app> (<sys>nautilus</sys>) as default
  favorites for a user.</p>

  <listing>
    <title>Contents of <file its:translate="no">/etc/dconf/profile/user</file>:</title>
<code its:translate="no">
# <span its:translate="yes">This line allows the user to change the default favorites later</span>
user-db:user
</code>
  </listing>

<p>Set Text Editor, Terminal and Files as default favorites:</p>
<screen><output style="prompt"># </output><input>gsettings set org.gnome.shell favorite-apps "['org.gnome.TextEditor.desktop', 'org.gnome.Terminal.desktop', 'org.gnome.Nautilus.desktop']"</input></screen>

  <note style="tip">
    <p>You can also <link xref="dconf-lockdown">lock down</link> the above
    settings to prevent users from changing them.</p>

  <title>Set the same favorite applications for all users</title>

  <p>In order to have the same favorites for all users, you must modify system
  database files using <link xref="dconf-keyfiles">dconf keyfiles</link>. The
  following steps edit the <sys its:translate="no">dconf</sys> profile
  and then create a keyfile to set default favorite applications for all
  users in the <code>local</code> configuration database.</p>
