wmctrl equivalent with KDE Plasma Wayland

[Amila Perera <perera.amila@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I am running KDE Plasma Wayland on Fedora 34.

I want to write a script / create a shortcut to raise a window if it exists or open a new one otherwise.

With KDE Plasma X11, I can use wmctrl to write a simple script i.e. wmctrl -l to list the windows and then wmctrl -a to raise the necessary window if it exists.

I am wondering if we have a similar CLI tool to use with Wayland.

If there's no straightforward solution with Wayland how can I use kWin to get this job done ?

I will be pleased if someone can point me to the Xlib/XCB corresponding C/C++ api in Wayland.

Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Amila.
