Linux Questions

Ok, first off KDE Connect is a killer app. It's so slick and convenient. Love it.

My desktop is running Fedora 42 Workstation with Gnome. Since I've got GNOME instead of KDE, I'm using an extension called GSConnect to communicate with KDE connect on my phone. It's working perfectly.

I've also got this extension called "Display Configuration Switcher" that lets me use a keyboard shortcut ( ctrl + ; ) to switch between two display configs:

1. Standard desktop layout
2. TV only.

(Fedora 42 is using Wayland, when I was on X11 I could use ARandR to create custom commands but Wayland is... more complicated.)

I want to add a command to KDE Connect/GSConnect to switch my display configuration from "desktop" output to "TV" output. The problem is I don't know what command to invoke to trigger "Display Configuration Switcher" to swap configurations.

There are multiple ways to approach this. The best solution is just to figure out what command is invoked when I press the keyboard shortcut "ctrl + ;", which is the shortcut to switch display configs. I'm not sure how to see what command is run when I press a button or shortcut.

Alternatively, I could find a way to send the ctrl + ; shortcut from the KDE connect app. Sending keyboard shortcuts would be handy regardless, but this is a workaround.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!
