DelegateVoidI'm looking into some <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/automation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#automation</a> on <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ubuntu" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ubuntu</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnome</a> desktop. I figured I'd be able to do everything using <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/dbus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dbus</a>. It works great for media control but not so much for virtual desktop / window management. I can use <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/wmctrl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wmctrl</a> to nativate between virtual desktops but window management doesn't work on <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a>. Then there is <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ydotool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ydotool</a> which also doesn't seem to work well.Now I can - Control media via dbus - Switch workspaces via wmctrl But I feel there has to be a better way?<a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/csharp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#csharp</a>

eshep<a href="https://mastodon.ar.al/users/aral" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@aral</a> <a href="https://mastodon.opencloud.lu/users/gunstick" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gunstick</a> No proper <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=xdotool" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#xdotool</a> replacement is the part that annoys me most about <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wayland</a>. I've heard that <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=wmctrl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wmctrl</a> is somewhat usable, but even if it worked, it's not really a viabe replacement. There is something called <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=wlrctl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wlrctl</a> that I've not looked much into yet. My first impression, just from the manpage, does not have me very eager to investigate further.

Beko Pharm (deprecated)Can _anyone_ shed some light on this weird behaviour of <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/wmctrl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wmctrl</a> on <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Wayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wayland</a> / <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/XWayland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#XWayland</a> / <a href="https://social.tchncs.de/tags/Gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gnome</a> where I usually have to execute this snippet twice?> wmctrl -x -r code.Code -e 0,0,0,5760,1200First time it will just move the window to the central screen (triple head setup 🖥️🖥️🖥️) _and maximize_ it. From there I have to drag it over to the left and execute again before this eventually works and I get my editor over all 3 screens.I'm totally lost what in this chain of wm magic causes this.

wraptileGot <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/gnome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gnome</a> setup this weekend. Giving it <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Forge" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Forge</a> a shot which is a new, simple tilling window manager:<a href="https://github.com/forge-ext/forge" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://github.com/forge-ext/forge</a>I've tried material-shell before but it didn't work well for me for whatever reason and Forge while more simple feels more stable.For further customization I used <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/wmctrl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wmctrl</a> which allows more scripting options and for drop down terminal I used <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/trdrop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trdrop</a>. For system control I can't get away from brilliant <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rofi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rofi</a> and it's ecosystem (<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/rofimoji" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rofimoji</a>, <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/greenclip" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#greenclip</a>).

🇺🇦 Je me souviens 🇨🇦I have to say that the more I use <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/DKwm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DKwm</a>, the better I like it. 😉 FWIW I have incorporated a good deal of automation (via <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/sxhkd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#sxhkd</a> and <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/wmctrl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wmctrl</a>) in my personal install. I'll publish a tutorial of what I have done on my site ( <a href="https://eirenicon.org" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://eirenicon.org</a> ) and share it on both <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/ArchLabs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ArchLabs</a> and on <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LiliDog" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LiliDog</a>. <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Linux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Linux</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Technology</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Debian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Debian</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WindowManager" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WindowManager</a>

Joerg Jaspert :debian:<a href="https://mastodon.social/@bofh1337" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bofh1337</a> So until then a wmctrl script OUGHT to help here. Except - using <a href="https://fulda.social/tags/wmctrl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wmctrl</a> to report on windows it shows me where they are, nicely. X, Y, Geometry. Now, using wmctrl again to set the window property to that - it is wrong. 😡 🤬 X seems to be wrong by around 40 points, width around 15 to 20.Useless. 😢 Boah, I do hate computer.
