Subject: How to get X Window id from within Emacs?
Date: Sun, 15 Dec 2024 20:52:13 +0300 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <f16c72ea66f044590f3954e2b0d3ca42.support1@rcdrun.com> (raw)
The standard shell commend `xwininfo' gives me the Window id, such as
0x2e000ac and then I can run shell command like `xdotool' to activate
the Emacs window:
$ xwininfo
xwininfo: Please select the window about which you
would like information by clicking the
mouse in that window.
xwininfo: Window id: 0x2e000ac "*shell* - GNU Emacs at lco2"
after switching to other workspace, then I can still do:
$ xdotool windowactivate 0x2e000ac
and I would return to Emacs X Window.
Is there a way to get the Window ID from within Emacs?
That will be useful to return to Emacs upon some notifications and
jobs done, during the watching of the movie.
Jean
