Below copies of post from a thread I have on the Manjaro forums. Any help finding a solution would be appreciated.

I've noticed that sometime when I click a app to launch it I get taken to it's assigned desktop. I like this behavior and would like to know how to make it universal. Myself I'm use to just clicking on the particular virtual desktop in Pager, but my friend still gets a bit confused on what to do when a app opens on a different desktop than one he's on. For him auto-switching would be much easier cause he's still so new to Linux. Thanks

Example:
kstart5 --desktop 4 /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable
Either edit the desktop file in /usr/share/applications or write a script file.

That's simple enough. Not the script still don't really know that much about creating my own scripts. Thanks[/CODE]
[CODE]What applications are you wanting to run? I have a really good script that may help you.

Assign to a hot key. It launches firefox on first press, subsequent presses raise or lower firefox.
Needs xdotool & wmctrl installed.

kstart5 --desktop 4 /usr/bin/vivaldi-stable
I'm going to be better off with that I think. Got it to work with Vivaldi but not Chrome.

What did you try for chrome??
Think it is called google-chrome-stable.....

start panel, search google, rightclick edit application, click application tab, and kstart5 --desktop 2 /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable %U under command.

Let me test.
From a terminal:
kstart5 --desktop 4 /usr/bin/google-chrome-stable
works. Also works if I do what you did - check for a space missing.

[agentx@Secret-Computer ~]$ kstart5 --desktop 4 /usr/bin/google-chrome-stab
