Hey!

I'm running Linux Mint 18 KDE 5 64-bit.
When I record videos of my desktop with OBS I often change my Plasma Panel configuration or placement so the panels don't get in the way (no need to record the trash that's there).

I really wish I could have a preset, or I wish the Workspaces could have separate Panel configurations (that'd make it easier for me). Since these are big changes that probably won't happen anytime soon if at all, I winder - can I hack something up with a shell script?

TL;DR

I wish I could prepare myself a bash script to for example hide one of my panels, or move it to a different screen and screen edge temporarily, or switch it to Auto-Hide from Always-Visible and back after I'm done.

Is that kind of funky business possible in KDE 5?

Can I manipulate the Plasma Panels in realtime from terminal?

Are you aware of the Plasma Interactive Console? Just asking

But note it won't accept bash scripts, only Javascript. More reading here:

Thanks! I didn't know of the Plasma Interactive Console.. Is there a way to send a command to that from a Bash script?

Can I have two commands that will hide or show a specific plasma panel?
