I just stumbled upon this Terminal command:

defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator.x enableSmartLayerNames -bool false

I'm curious - is there a list of all available "defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator.x ..." commands?

We've been thinking about listing the available Terminal commands in Pixelmator Pro, somewhere under the advanced settings perhaps. We're not yet sure how to approach this from the UI side of things, though.
There isn't really an official list of the commands but here are a few that might come in handy:

Change the Option-scroll zoom direction:
defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator.x scrollToZoomDirectionInverted -bool true

Turn off 'Always open documents in tabs':
defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator.x alwaysOpenDocumentInTab -bool false

Display full-size previews of PXD documents:
defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator.x fullSizeQuickLookPreview -bool true

Disable canvas rotation gesture:
defaults write com.pixelmatorteam.pixelmator.x canvasRotationGestureEnabled -bool false
