Lately I’m having issues where I have some windows set to open full screen on the second monitor (not even full screen, just making it manually take all the space) via Kwin, but since I have a top toolbar panel on the main monitor, the fucker opens with an empty space above where the imaginary toolbar would be.
I’ve checked mostly everything and now it only happens in a game so I just set it to full screen and then windowed full screen again and I don’t need to worry until I reopen the game, so it’s mostly a non issue. In KDE’s defense, the game does open correctly, it just resized afterwards so it seems like a game issue.
Besides that game though, every other program (telegram, discord…) opens right where I told it to be, I use KDE, I created a window rule for every program I routinely open and I just recorded the position I like them in and they open exactly there. I do have 2 monitors, I can give you more info on my setup if you’d like.
This is great, yet I wish there was a way to send information to specific windows from outside. Yeah I know that that’s technically a security flaw and Wayland’s ethos is practically against it, but if I want to emulate a click in a specific window passively without focusing on it, there should be some way to allow it as long as I know the window ID.
I’m talking about that feature of xdotool that let’s you send click or key press events to specific windows that can’t be done by combining ydotool and kdotool, since neither has window specific interactions.
I know that it’s a very specific request, and it’s for a more stupid reason, I want to play bongo cat with my friends and I need a way to send k&m events to that window so it works on Wayland Linux 😭😭
