Export Gnome Terminal Profile

Create luizjr-theme-profile.dconf file:

[/]
background-color='#282A36'
background-transparency-percent=5
bold-color='#6E46A4'
bold-color-same-as-fg=false
default-size-columns=130
default-size-rows=28
font='Fira Code 12'
foreground-color='#F8F8F2'
palette=['#262626', '#E356A7', '#42E66C', '#E4F34A', '#9B6BDF', '#E64747', '#75D7EC', '#EFA554', '#7A7A7A', '#FF79C6', '#50FA7B', '#F1FA8C', '#BD93F9', '#FF5555', '#8BE9FD', '#FFB86C']
use-system-font=false
use-theme-colors=false
use-theme-transparency=false
use-transparent-background=true

List profiles

dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/

Determine the terminal profile string for the profile you will need. This is the terminal profile that I will export:

[:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1]
foreground-color='#C3C3C7C7D1D1'
visible-name='Material Colors'
palette=['#070736364141', '#EBEB60606B6B', '#C3C3E8E88D8D', '#F7F7EBEB9595', '#8080CBCBC3C3', '#FFFF24249090', '#AEAEDDDDFFFF', '#FFFFFFFFFFFF', '#00002B2B3636', '#EBEB60606B6B', '#C3C3E8E88D8D', '#F7F7EBEB9595', '#7D7DC6C6BFBF', '#6C6C7171C3C3', '#343443434D4D', '#FFFFFFFFFFFF']
default-size-columns=100
default-size-rows=28
use-system-font=false
use-theme-colors=false
font='Source Code Pro 10'
allow-bold=false
bold-color-same-as-fg=true
bold-color='#FFFFFFFFFFFF'
background-color='#1E1E28282C2C'
audible-bell=false
scrollbar-policy='never'

And the string that I will need to use to export is

:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1

The command to export that profile is (note the ending slash)

dconf dump /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1/ > luizjr-theme-profile.dconf

To restore the profile

dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/profiles:/:1430663d-083b-4737-a7f5-8378cc8226d1/ < luizjr-theme-profile.dconf

Create keys.dconf file:

[/]
close-tab='<Primary>w'
close-window='<Primary>q'
copy='<Primary>c'
new-tab='<Primary>t'
new-window='<Primary>n'
paste='<Primary>v'
preferences='<Primary>comma'

Restore keybindings:

dconf load /org/gnome/terminal/legacy/keybindings/ < keys.dconf
