+Most of the settings in the Settings panel can be managed with kwriteconfig5

+Example:
+
+/usr/bin/kwriteconfig5 --file "/home/douge/.config/kwinrc" --group "TouchEdges" --key "Bottom" "None"
+
+or
+
+/usr/bin/kwriteconfig5 --file "/home/douge/.config/plasmarc" --group "KDE" --key "name" "breeze-dark"
+
+You have to know where the config item is stored and what it's named. Some of the application settings are stored in other files that can be manipulated with dconf.
+
+I really had to experiment to see what settings modified what files and how that setting was set. It was trial and error, checking what files were updated when I changed a setting by sorting files in ~/.config by changed date and then looking at that file.
