[SOLVED] Is there a way to switch KDE activities from CLI?

Hello,

is there a way to switch KDE activities from bash?

Maybe something similar to switching desktops like this?

$ xdotool set_desktop --relative -- +1

If not, is there a library function for that purpose somewhere that I can utilize with some basic C or Python skills?

Thanks in advance!

I don't use KDE any more, but I used to be able to switch activities using qdbus.

Something like this?

qdbus org.kde.kglobalaccel /component/plasma_desktop invokeShortcut "Next Activity"

qdbus ...

Thanks a lot! :-) Got it working with:

$ qdbus org.kde.ActivityManager /ActivityManager/Activities org.kde.ActivityManager.Activities.NextActivity
