I can right-click on a window's icon in the task bar and select "Move To Desktop". Can I do this from a console? Even better: I would like to start an application from the command line and, as soon as the window opens, toss it to a specific desktop. Can I do that? Thanks in advance! I am using Kubuntu 17.10 and KDE Frameworks Version 5.38.0

Code: Select all `qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin shortcutNames \| sort` Code: Select all `qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/kwin invokeShortcut "Window to Desktop 2"` [ https://github.com/Zren \| https://zren.github.io/kde/ ]

As far as I can determine, this command affects the currently selected/active window. Is there any way to invoke such a command on a different window?
