+100

Hmm, this means more code to maintain. I'm personally totally fine with using qdbus. qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation | xclip -sel clip or qdbus org.kde.KWin /KWin supportInformation > pizza.txt is not great, but not terrible.

Can we at least have a cmdline arg in kwin_x11 at least? I certainly don't want to look up the dbus path every time I see a KWin bug report..

To be honest, I don't see why we need that option. The qdbus command is long, but not that long to introduce a shortcut.

We can add an alias, sure.
But we're not the intended user of the supportInformation. The person on the end of the bugzilla ticket is.

But we will be the one asking the user to type that command. So I either have to remember it or look it up (or use some macro or wahtever)

Yep, that's pretty much it. We could however add relevant information to https://community.kde.org/KWin/Bugzilla.

That's really the crux of this. I think it's much easier and more user-friendly to ask the user to look up something in KInfoCenter than it is to ask them to use a terminal command, and for us to remember it.

+1 for the original goal.

I still think this is a great idea.

I keep running into the need for this. Can you re-open it? I think it would be very worthwhile to add.
