dunstctl action is not working, but mouse click works

          > It would be nice to be able to trigger an action on a keyboard shortcut using sxhkd, however currently that is impossible due to the fact that it is impossible to trigger a notification action via `dunstctl`.

Triggering notification actions pretty much works exactly as you wrote it e. g. dunstctl action, dunstctl action 0 or dunstctl action 0 default all three trigger the default action of the most recent notification.

So what exactly are you looking for? What did you try and what happened that did not match your expectation?

it's still not working for me, i have no custom action i just want to use the default action when the the notification has URL it should open the browser, i tried all three method and none of those opening the url to browser, when i try to open it by middle click it works perfectly

This has to do with the fact that urls are not treated as actions. Right now it is not possible to trigger an url with dunstctl action. Maybe we can add it

thank u for the response, i'm not too familiar with c, but if there's direction about adding this feature, i'll try to help

I have some ideas, but maybe the simplest would be to wait for #1348. Then you could simply list the current notifications and extract the url.
