This would have to be added to the API, as it doesn't currently exist. desktopGridHeight is currently a read-only property https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/kwin/api/ I'll pass this along to the kwin developers for consideration |
SUMMARY There is no setter defined for `workspace.desktopGridHeight` in the KWin scripting API. Scripts that manage Virtual Desktops to make them dynamic would need to be able to change the number of rows for users who would like a 2D space of dynamic virtual desktops or users who prefer a vertical disposition. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create more than or 3 virtual desktops, organized in a single row. 2. Open `plasma-interactiveconsole`. 3. Create a script containing the following (without the markdown block syntax): workspace.desktopGridHeight = 3 4. Make sure the script is set to run in KWin. 5. Run the script. OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT The virtual desktops get reorganized in 3 rows.
