xdotool getactivewindow getwindowpid
I tried this. But it's not working on Wayland. As far as i know. There is no focus window concept on Wayland. So can I get it from Mutter or GNOME-Shell?

I wish that ability too. My current best is using Looking Glass. "[Alt+F2] lg [Enter]" to open it. It does not tell pid but it shows app name, which I can then search in System Monitor and not have to look through tens of processes. There you can get PID or kill the app directly. I hope this helps. – alpersunter May 27 '22 at 09:06
