    Thank you!

    This is what I came up with.

    • a script that does what you need, and reads a kinda ‘config file’ which Konsole instance/window/session to use
    • another script that saves the current session into that config file

    So you’d save the scripts somewhere you like, and run the useThisSession one in the session you’d like to be the target.

    Then, you can run / bind to a shortcut / … the runCommand script, and it will show, raise, set Session, and run the command on the target saved earlier.

    useThisSession.sh:

    #!/bin/bash
# useThisSession

echo MYCMD_SERVICE=$KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE > ~/.config/mycmdrc
echo MYCMD_SESSION=${KONSOLE_DBUS_SESSION#/Sessions/} >> ~/.config/mycmdrc
echo MYCMD_WINDOW=${KONSOLE_DBUS_WINDOW#/Windows/} >> ~/.config/mycmdrc

    runCommand.sh:

    #!/bin/bash
# runCommand

. ~/.config/mycmdrc

qdbus $MYCMD_SERVICE /konsole/MainWindow_$MYCMD_WINDOW showNormal
qdbus $MYCMD_SERVICE /konsole/MainWindow_$MYCMD_WINDOW raise
qdbus $MYCMD_SERVICE /Windows/$MYCMD_WINDOW setCurrentSession $MYCMD_SESSION
qdbus $KONSOLE_DBUS_SERVICE /Sessions/$MYCMD_SESSION runCommand "echo cmd"

    For testing purposes, I’m using "echo cmd" instead of '!!' (note the different type of quotes) to not cause any… unintended… executions.

    Running qdbus $MYCMD_SERVICE /konsole/MainWindow_$MYCMD_WINDOW will show you all methods available on the Window, eg, so you can pick&choose from those if you want different behaviour from show (& un-minimize) and raise.

    EDIT: syntax adjusted to work in ‘regular’ bash

    As for the first points, yes, that may happen, but is it a problem for users who already are part of a ‘better’ experience here than on the for-profit platforms?

    I, for one, find much better discourse here than anywhere on reddit, let alone Meta or Twitter.

    Also exemplified by me engaging much more here than ever on the others. I do prefer quality over quantity - everyone is invited to join the table, but I don’t see much benefit in luring people there who would ultimately only dilute or be disruptive - ie, not really into the thing that’s happening here.

    For the last point, well, legislators can certainly try. While telling people it’s all for their benefit and upholding freedom and democracy and equal opportunity and whatnot. And even keep a straight face.
