shell-scripts VS jumpapp

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

Always open on active/focused/primary screen/Always open on current desktop

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.

I am trying to replicate https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp as a KWin script. Since I decided to use Wayland instead of X11, where jumpapp does not work.

Have a look at jumpapp for full configurability

I have become reliant on jumpapp and really miss it now that I am running hyprland. Has anyone come up with a wayland replacement?

If you're on X11: jumpapp

Maybe checkout https://vickychijwani.me/blazing-fast-application-switching-.... Personally I use jumpapp which does more or less the same thing. https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp.

jumpapp - its a run-or-raise app. Basically, you set up a shortcut for something that you use often (an IDE, a browser, a terminal etc). Once you activate the shortcut, jumpapp will either run the app if its running, or start the app if it isn't.

This may be off-topic, but would you mind sharing your AutoHotKey script? I'm used to Jumpapp on Linux, but I was never able to recreate the same behavior on Windows.

I use jumpapp[0] and find it fantastic for application switching on Manjaro/KDE.

Looks like jumpapp is exactly what you want - provided you're on X11.

Something like this? https://github.com/mkropat/jumpapp
