A lot of macOS behavior can be toggled by modifying the system component defaults.
For example, turn off autohiding of the Dock from commandline:

defaults write com.apple.screencapture "include-date" -bool "true"

https://github.com/zcutlip/prefsniff can be handy for figuring this stuff out, you start it up, change a setting, and it reports the plist differences to you
Pretty cool tool it looks like. Gonna try using this. Also has good resources in the README.
