--- Comment #47 from Oded Arbel <o...@geek.co.il> --- (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #45) > That's an issue in Konsole (or whatever terminal app you're using) failing > to forward an activation token to xdg-open (and then internally to > kde-open). This needs a new bug report; it's not a generic issue. So this is a main issue for my use cases - I automate my desktop use cases using scripts, and the inability of a script to start a foreground application, or - more problematic - raise an existing window, is a serious usability problem on kwin Wayland. Why can't kde-open talk to kwin and get an activation token? Why for that matter isn't there a scriptable dbus API to ask for and get an activation token without owning the focused window? There is a working hack where you can create a new window, use it to get an activation token, then immediately close it. This is much more destructive to the user experience than letting applications activate windows when it makes sense to do it: kde-open is one such case, an application responding to a global hot key (see yakuake) is another. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
