Settings.getUserValue
glib.variant.Variant getUserValue(string key)Checks the "user value" of a key, if there is one.
The user value of a key is the last value that was set by the user.
After calling [gio.settings.Settings.reset] this function should always return null (assuming something is not wrong with the system configuration).
It is possible that [gio.settings.Settings.getValue] will return a different value than this function. This can happen in the case that the user set a value for a key that was subsequently locked down by the system administrator -- this function will return the user's old value.
This function may be useful for adding a "reset" option to a UI or for providing indication that a particular value has been changed.
It is a programmer error to give a key that isn't contained in the schema for settings.
Parameters
key | the key to get the user value for |
