💅 kdocker (KDOCKER(1)) — General Commands Manual, bestie ✨

okay so this is the manual page for kdocker from the General Commands Manual, aka KDOCKER(1). Buckle up, we’re docking windows and being iconic about it 🫶

🌸 NAME 🌸

kdocker

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

kdocker [options]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

KDocker is a program that will dock most applications to the system tray. Periodt. 💅

Kdocker can dock a window in a few different ways:

1. By specifying an application to launch (the app argument).
2. Specifying a regular expression to find a window based on its title (-n).
3. Specifying a window id (-w).
4. Specifying a pid (-x).
5. Not specifying any of the above. KDocker will have you select the window to dock. Negated by the -z option.

The -n option is compatible with application launching. Useful if the application spawns another process (E.g. a launcher). 🧚

A DBus interface is exposed at com.kdocker.KDocker which can be used to dock and interact with docked windows. iykyk ✨

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

• -b, --blind — Suppress the warning dialog when docking non-normal windows (blind mode). blind mode says no to popups 🙈
• -d, --timeout secs — Maximum time in seconds to allow for a command to start and open a window. [default: 5 seconds] ⏳
• -f, --dock-focused — Dock the window that has focus (active window). main character window energy 👑
• -h, --help — Display this help, then exit. 🫶
• -i, --icon file — Custom icon path. 🎀
• -I, --attention-icon file — Custom attention icon path. This icon is set if the title of the application window changes while it is iconified. attention icon says “bestie look at me” 💖
• -l, --iconify-focus-lost — Iconify when focus lost. 😭
• -m — Don't iconfiy when minimized. yes, that’s the exact spelling from the original, and we’re keeping it because details are sacred 💀
• -n, --search-pattern pattern — Match window based on its name (title) using PCRE compatible regular expression. 🔍
• -o, --iconify-obscured — Iconify when obscured by other windows. 🫣
• -p, --notify-time secs — By default, when the title of the application changes, a popup is displayed from the system tray for 4 seconds. Works well with music players. 🎵
• -q, --quiet — Disable ballooning title changes (quiet). 🤫
• -r, --skip-pager — Remove this application from the pager. 🦋
• -s, --sticky — Make the window sticky (appears on all desktops). everywhere all at once, lowkey ✨
• -t, --skip-taskbar — Remove this application from the taskbar. 🌸
• -v, --version — Show the KDocker version string, then exit. ⭐
• -w, --window-id wid — Window id of the application to dock. 🪟
• -x, --pid pid — Process id of the application to dock. 🧚
• -z, --keep-running — Run in the background and don't exit if no windows are docked. Used to start KDocker as as service for control via another instance of the application or by DBus. (the “as as” is canon, don’t come for me) 💜
