Description Edward Oubrayrie 2018-03-19 12:27:23 UTC 
I haven't been able to find a replacement for the following command, removed some time ago (Kwin 5.9 maybe?):

qdbus org.kde.plasma-desktop /MainApplication showInteractiveKWinConsole

It is still wrongly documented at https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tutorials/KWin/Scripting

"Alt+F2 wm console" does not work for my usecase (launch at boot).

With the Plasma 5:
'qdbus org.kde.plasmashell /PlasmaShell org.kde.PlasmaShell.showInteractiveConsole
'

As Rog131 said.

Your link is a wiki, so feel free to update it to the Plasma 5 version

Wiki updated. Thanks.
