# fnottctl(1)

utility to interact with fnott(1)

## NAME

fnottctl - utility to interact with [**fnott**(1)](/fnott/1.md)

## SYNOPSIS

**fnottctl** **dismiss** \[*id*\]\
 **fnottctl** **dismiss-with-default-action** \[*id*\]\
 **fnottctl** **actions** \[*id*\]\
 **fnottctl** **list**\
 **fnottctl** **pause**\
 **fnottctl** **unpause**\
 **fnottctl** **quit**\
 **fnottctl** **--version**

## OPTIONS

**id**

The notification ID to dismiss or show actions for. Use **fnottctl** **list** to see the IDs of currently active notifications.

- **-v**,**--version**

  Show the version number and quit

## DESCRIPTION

**fnottctl** is used to interact (dismiss notifications, show and select action for notifications) with [**fnott**(1)](/fnott/1.md).

The most common operation is **fnottctl dismiss**. This will dismiss the highest priority notification. You might want to bind this to a keyboard shortcut in your Wayland compositor configuration. This is the same as right clicking the notification.

To see, and select between, actions associated with the notification, use **fnottctl actions**. This requires a dmenu-like utility to have been configured in [**fnott.ini**(5)](/fnott.ini/5.md).

Finally, you can trigger the notification's default action (an action named **default**) and dismiss it simultaneously with **dismiss-with-default-action**. This is the same as left clicking the notification.

You can optionally specify a notification ID, to dismiss (or show actions for) a specific notification instead of the highest priority one.

For *dismiss*, there is also the special ID *all* which will, not unsurprisingly, dismiss **all** notifications.
