If you don't find such a setting, you can try writing a script that checks if it's running already (e.g. with pgrep
), activates the window if found (no idea how to do that in Wayland properly) and launches a new instance otherwise. Then use a custom .desktop
launcher for Konsole.
Thanks for your reply :) I might look into it if I don't find anything easier
Here's a KDE-specific script with kdotool
(Wayland always needs custom solutions for simple things):
#!/bin/bash
WIN="$(kdotool search --class org.kde.konsole | head -1)"
if [[ "$WIN" != "" ]]; then
kdotool windowactivate "$WIN"
else
konsole
fi
sweet! thank you so much!
I would like to know too. Subscribed.
in case you weren't notified despite subscribing to the post, there is a solution now :)
Thank you!!
@mods: If I should cool it on the questions today, let me know.
I'm not a mod here, but two should be fine. Just don't keep asking simple questions day after day or week after week. That's when it gets annoying.
Is this a simple question? It's hard to tell from my inexperienced position. I have a few friends who are more experienced with linux than I am, and they help me out from time to time. But when they are not available and I am unable to find something on google after 15-30 minutes, I tend to start posting to forums haha
Google search is so useless these days too!
