This is a Gnome Shell extension to make Advanced Settings (aka Gnome Tweak Tool) easier to access, via shortcut in User Menu.
Here's the extension download link. Just slide to install. Make sure you already installed Gnome Tweak Tool.

Advanced Settings in UserMenu by outbreak
|
If you have "Alternative Status Menu" extension installed, these two extensions may have conflicted and as the result the Advanced Settings shortcut doesn't always appear after restart in User Menu.
The latest version of Alternative Status Menu extension should fix this, but in case you haven't the latest version here's how to fix it (courtesy of ), apply on your own risk. I did this and it works, your mileage may vary :
- Disable "Advanced Setting in UserMenu"
- backup first then open alternative-status-menu extension.js , it maybe located in/usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/alternative-status-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org/ or
/home/USER/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
- on line 5 add:
const Shell = imports.gi.Shell;
- anywhere add:function _onAdvancedSettingsActivate() { Main.overview.hide();
let app = Shell.AppSystem.get_default().lookup_app('gnome-tweak-tool.desktop');
app.activate(); }
- Between "System Settings" and PopupSeparator add:
item = new PopupMenu.PopupMenuItem(_("Advanced Settings"));
item.connect('activate', Lang.bind(item, _onAdvancedSettingsActivate)); this.menu.addMenuItem(item);
- restart Gnome Shell with Alt+F2 "r"
The whole code should look like this, the formatting maybe slightly off so don't just copy and paste it may not work. Changes are in bold, so you can compare it with yours.:
