Try > > M-: (frame-parameter nil 'window-id) RET I think that ID is something Emacs related. Or I do not know how to convert it. Result such as "46153928" I do not know how to use here: $ sleep 3; xdotool windowactivate 46137524 XGetWindowProperty[_NET_WM_DESKTOP] failed (code=1) is it is supposed to look this way: sleep 3; xdotool windowactivate 0x2e000ac So do I need to convert it somehow? (format "%x" 46137524) ➜ "2c000b4" But it failed: $ xdotool windowactivate 0x2c000b4 XGetWindowProperty[_NET_WM_DESKTOP] failed (code=1) I had to get: 0x2c040c4 instead as that was X Window ID, so I am not sure how this works.
