I recently installed Ubuntu 18.04. Previously in GNOME 3, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons never appeared on any of my applications, such as Chromium Browser and Emacs. These buttons annoy me because I am used to clicking Alt+Space.

How do I remove these buttons from Ubuntu 18.04?

If you want to get rid of those window control buttons from all the windows run the following command in Terminal

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout :

To undo this step, run 

gsettings reset org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout
