Hello.

I have been searching for some hours but can't find anything about this.

I am used to some other wm where you can easily build functions that will do several things to a given window. For example, I often need to send a window to the right uppper corner, resize it to fit a max width and height, lock it to the upper layer and un-decorate it. Doing all that by hand twenty times a day can get tedious enough.

So, is there any way to "script" this in a way that's generic enough (i.e. so that it works on the focused window)?

Of course

From what you describe, you may be better of with applying rules to windows, though ("kcmshell4 kwinrules", resp. "kcmshell5 kwinrules" on KDE5) - ie. if the task is to position xeyes

Thanks, but that won't do.

The task at hand is to be able to rapidly send the focused window to a corner. Sometimes, and depending on what I am doing, that corner might be the top right or the bottom right corner. That way I can continue working in the background window without losing the one in the corner from my view. This "cornerized" window, sometimes is a video that might be relevant to what I am doing, or a terminal with nano or vim, or gcolor2, or whatever else.

I have rules for many windows but this is not a case I can solve with rules. In openbox or fvwm I can easily bind a sequence like this to win+kp_up or win+kp_down, for example, so I would like to be able to do the same with kwin.

you are - check the link to the script api.
you can bind shortcuts to a script function that does pretty much everything to about any window.

Sorry. I completely missed the link. That's exactly what I was looking for, but didn't know how to search for it.

I will review it and report back
