    The shader properties also show some of the keywords needed to set the Texture of a Material. To see this, go to your Material and right click on the Shader dropdown at the top. Next, pick Select Shader.

    Edit: Actually this may be a bug with the Linux version? Or perhaps with using a shader from "Universal Render Pipeline"? This is my situation.

    Clicking "Select Shader" did nothing. I found 2 ways to find out what keywords I can use;
    1. Note the name of the shader and attempt to manually browse to that shader in the Project view. For "Universal Render Pipeline/Unlit", I expanded the folders "Packages/Universal RP/Shaders" and selected "Unlit" and was able to see the keywords in the shader properties on the right.
    2. Instead of clicking,"Select Shader", I clicked "Edit Shader". This opens a text file where you can see a list of valid Texture keywords.

    It might be a bug where "Select Shader" only works for shaders directly in the assets folder. You should create a bug report about that!

    Would love to help out by logging the bug - where do I do that? I found the issue tracker site and logged in with my Unity account, but can't see a way to log a new issue.

    Help->Report a bug in Unity itself. The things in the issue tracker are bugs reported like that.
