So I read through the documentation and modified the script to work with KDE 6, successfully tested on my machine. Here's the script if you want to try.
#!/bin/bash
# Usage: ww -f "window class filter" -c "run if not found"
# Usage: ww -fa "window title filter" -c "run if not found"
TOGGLE="false"
POSITIONAL=()
while [[ $# -gt 0 ]]; do

ww. Utility to raise or jump an applications in KDE. It interacts with KWin using KWin scripts and it is compatible with X11 and Wayland
Paramaters:

-t --toggle also minimize the window if it is already active

Thank you! Tested on Plasma 6.1.3
I've been using #8, which from a cursory diff looks quite similar to the version posted inline here.
It doesn't seem to work on my system (nor #8). Is there anything I can do to help debugging?
Operating System: Fedora Linux 40 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.4.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.9.12-200.fc40.x86_64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: Wayland
Works for me under Fedora 40, exact same configuration as you @clobrano except kernel version 6.10.3-200. Maybe specify how exactly you call the script and what output you get or what happens?
I used the line suggested in the README
$ ww -f firefox -c firefox
it does run firefox if it is not already running, but it doesn't jump to a running instance
@clobrano Try running it with -fa firefox
(instead of -f
), that works for me.
Yes indeed! Sorry for not trying more :sweat:
Since the update to KDE 6 (and therefore Kwin 6), the "raise" functionality has stopped working. The shortcut still works when no windows are open, but will not bring forward the window if it's already open.
