  • Volume down:
    pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ -10%
    ## OR
    pactl set-sink-volume $(pactl list short sinks | grep RUNNING | cut -f1) -10%
    
  • Volume up:
    pactl set-sink-volume @DEFAULT_SINK@ +10%
    ## OR
    pactl set-sink-volume $(pactl list short sinks | grep RUNNING | cut -f1) +10%
    
  • Mute/Unmute:
    pactl set-sink-mute @DEFAULT_SINK@ toggle
    ## OR

  • Breeze (Dark) theme:
    lookandfeeltool -a 'org.kde.breezedark.desktop'

Brightness settings

  • Brightness Up:
    qdbus org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.Actions.BrightnessControl.setBrightness $(expr $(qdbus org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.Actions.BrightnessControl.brightness) + 375)
  • Brightness Down:
    qdbus org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.Actions.BrightnessControl.setBrightness $(expr $(qdbus org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement /org/kde/Solid/PowerManagement/Actions/BrightnessControl org.kde.Solid.PowerManagement.Actions.BrightnessControl.brightness) - 375)

Screen capture

  • Save locally:
    spectacle -b
  • Send to phone:
    file=/tmp/$(hostname)_$(date "+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S").png; spectacle -bo "${file}" && while ! [ -f "${file}" ]; do sleep 0.5; done && kdeconnect-cli -d $(kdeconnect-cli -a --id-only) --share "${file}"
  • Save webcam photo in the Images folder and send to phone:
    file="$HOME/Images/WebcamImage_$(date "+%Y%m%d_%H%M%S").jpg"; ffmpeg -f video4linux2 -s 1280x720 -i /dev/video0 -ss 0:0:2 -frames 1 "${file}" && kdeconnect-cli -d $(kdeconnect-cli -a --id-only) --share "${file}"

Send output of any command to your phone

  • Check the status of baloo indexing:
    kdeconnect-cli -d $(kdeconnect-cli -a --id-only) --ping-msg "$(balooctl status)"
  • Check lines 5, 7 and 9 of speedtest-cli:
    kdeconnect-cli -d $(kdeconnect-cli -a --id-only) --ping-msg "$(speedtest-cli|awk 'NR==5;NR==7;NR==9 {print;exit}')"
  • Check whether service sshd is running:
    kdeconnect-cli -d $(kdeconnect-cli -a --id-only) --ping-msg "$(systemctl status sshd|grep Active)"
  • Check the top 5 applications using most RAM:
    kdeconnect-cli -d $(kdeconnect-cli -a --id-only) --ping-msg "$(ps -eo pid,%mem,cmd --sort=-%mem | head -n 6)"
