Virtual Desktops & Activities

Plasma has two orthogonal grouping mechanisms — virtual desktops (lightweight, per-window) and activities (heavyweight, per-context with persistent state).

Virtual desktops

D-Bus interface: org.kde.KWin /VirtualDesktopManager.

# List qdbus org.kde.KWin /VirtualDesktopManager desktopIds qdbus org.kde.KWin /VirtualDesktopManager desktopName <id> # Count qdbus org.kde.KWin /VirtualDesktopManager count # Create / remove qdbus org.kde.KWin /VirtualDesktopManager createDesktop <position> "<name>" qdbus org.kde.KWin /VirtualDesktopManager removeDesktop <id> # Switch qdbus org.kde.KWin /VirtualDesktopManager setCurrent <id>

Persistent config: ~/.config/kwinrc [Desktops].

Activities

CLI: kactivitymanagerd runs the daemon; user-facing CLI is qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities.

# List qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities ListActivities qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities ActivityName <uuid> # Current qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities CurrentActivity # Add / remove qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities AddActivity "<name>" qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities RemoveActivity <uuid> # Switch qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities SetCurrentActivity <uuid>

Notes

Window-to-desktop / window-to-activity assignment lives in window rules (~/.config/kwinrulesrc).

Activity state (which apps are open per activity) is stored under ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/.
