    Window manager automation. I use hotkeys to resize and move windows based on their title, pin them to certain monitors, etc…

    ydotool is a step in the right direction, but AFAIK it can only simulate mouse and keyboard input

        Looks like a hotkey daemon. That helps, but the crux of my issue is that on X11, xdotool can read the window names, size, position, and move them between workspaces and monitors.

            Are KDE’s window rules accessible through bash? Can it work on individual window titles (i.e. different browser tabs in Firefox)?

            Speaking as an Xfce user, I’d prefer a DE-neutral option, but if I must use Wayland, maybe KDE is worth another try.
