The output of wmctrl -lx
looks like this:
0x020002f5 0 Plasma.Plasma lnx plasma-desktop
0x02a00015 0 okular.Okular lnx TCP/IP Protocol Suite – Okular
0x032000fe 1 amarok.Amarok lnx Billy Talent - This Suffering :: Amarok
0x03e00001 0 Google-chrome.Google-chrome lnx wmctrl based on class - Google Search - Google Chrome
0x04400001 1 Chromium.Chromium lnx openSUSE - Chromium
0x05400050 0 gvim.Gvim lnx activate_or_run.sh (~/bin/repo) - GVIM
0x04a0001a 0 konsole.Konsole lnx user@lnx:/home – Konsole
I would imagine that 2nd column denotes class of window.
Now I would like to activate the window based on its class rather than its title. Let's say
the chosen window is gvim.Gvim
.
So I tried wmctrl -ax gvim.Gvim
or different combinations, surrounding gvim.Gvim
in quotation marks, using only gvim
then Gvim
but to no success.
How can this be done?
wmctrl -xa gvim.Gvim
