<p>Because until you just asked plainly it wasn't clear what you were talking about :)</p>

<p>Read the <a href="https://developer.gnome.org/gio/stable/GSettings.html">GSettings documentation</a>. You can either connect to the changed signal, bind it to an object property, or create an action and connect to its activation. I haven't ported any settings that need to update other instances when changed yet, but if you give me a current preference that would be useful to make update other instances, I can try and port it as an example. Even better, you can try porting one and submit a PR on my repo :)</p>
