I ran the above command and pasted the outputs. It can be seen that sometimes there is no output from kdotool.
kdotool v0.2.1 on Wayland Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.10.0 Nvidia GPU.
@ppwwyyxx version 0.2.1 didn't have getmouselocation for me. did you not also get this when running it?
kdotool getmouselocation
Error: Unknown command: getmouselocation
Yup, same for me.
$ kdotool getmouselocation
Error: in command 'getmouselocation'
Caused by:
Unknown command: getmouselocation
It says 0.2.1, but I took the 0.2.2 pre from Releases.
You need to build from the source code for that command. The releases are quite falling behind.
Will 'getmouselocation' be working with KDE 6 ? Do you have any estimated time arrival for the release of 0.2.2 ?
