Ask HN: How do you sync or migrate KDE settings?

Inspired by today's post on Ubuntu: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49908757 I use KDE at home, and installed (K)ubuntu on a separate laptop to use for work stuff (Yocto). It's a bit tedious to have to go into system settings and click through menus to configure e.g. middle-click settings, alt-tab settings, sleep/wake/lock behavior, Dolphin toolbar/views, etc, every time I set up a machine. Some options I've seen: Konsave (https://github.com/Prayag2/konsave); KDE Migrant (https://github.com/nekromoff/kde-migrant); a guide to writing your own kwriteconfig scripts in Plasma 5 (https://tylerkontra.com/posts/programmatic-kde-customization/). For NixOS users there's plasma-manager (https://github.com/nix-community/plasma-manager) but obviously can't use that on e.g. Kubuntu. I haven't looked too much into dotfile management (e.g. GNU Stow
Read the rest
or Chezmoi) but maybe they are options as well? Just looking to get ideas and suggestions from the HN crowd.

Given that you're already using Home Manager: Make sure to also take a look at plasma-manager! [1] It extends HM's declarative config to KDE/Plasma's config files, which are harder to manage since they also contain volatile state like window geometry. For discovery, there is also a `plasma-manager` executable that prints out most (all?) active settings. In particular the keybindings are included in there. (This doesn't directly answer your question, but maybe is informative regardless and/or helpful for finding related options) [1] https://github.com/nix-community/plasma-manager
In Fedora Asahi Remix is now working on Apple M3
