    Are KDE’s window rules accessible through bash? Can it work on individual window titles (i.e. different browser tabs in Firefox)?

    Speaking as an Xfce user, I’d prefer a DE-neutral option, but if I must use Wayland, maybe KDE is worth another try.

      you cannot use it via bash you configure it and it applies actions to windows as they are created you cannot use it at all where plasma isn’t your desktop and as of wayland you cannot use a different window maanager with KDE plasma as wayland doesn’t have the idea of window managers.

      I don’t think you are ever again going to have an agnostic way to do this

        I use bash extensively. I poll video files with ffprobe to get the audio level and video resolution to set a universal standard volume and custom window positions per file depending on what other applications are open.

        I understand that all this is a security risk / too obscure of a feature from Wayland’s perspective. I’ll probably stick to X11 for as long as possible.
