KWin-window-positioning-scripts VS shell-scripts

Sorry for late reply, moving. No, it does not remember it and always starts on the wrong monitor. I even tried this script. https://github.com/nclarius/KWin-window-positioning-scripts/tree/main/always-open-on-primary-screen

See https://github.com/nclarius/KWin-window-positioning-scripts/issues/16. ***

Re: " windows don't cascade if the mouse didn't move". That is annoying. For me, the exact behavior seems oddly app dependent. You can raise an issue on https://github.com/nclarius/KWin-window-positioning-scripts and discuss possible solutions, if any.

Touchpad gesture to alt-tab.

Not natively. If you're on X11, you can use third-party tools for touchpad gestures; I have libinput-gestures and put together this (slightly hacky but functional for me) script which you're welcome to use.

For the time being, you can use this script as a workaround.

Here is a script I created for this purpose: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/tree/main/toggle-krunner

Yes, journalctl. A GUI alternative is KSystemLog. You can filter the journal to KWin by _COMM="kwin_x11"/"kwin_wayland", however that output is still very noisy. It helps to prefix the print statements so you can filter by those with -g; here is an example. Note that for journal you can get live updated output with -f. If you're on Wayland and are not getting any output, try systemd boot.

Use this script I wrote with konsole.konsole as the window class: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/blob/main/open-on-current-desktop/open_firefox_on_current_desktop.sh

I wrote myself a custom launcher script to solve the same annoying behavior with virtual desktops and Firefox: https://github.com/nclarius/shell-scripts/tree/main/open-on-current-desktop Perhaps that can be used as a starting point to write a modification for activities and with Chrome.
