Dunst: Hide notifications temporarily, mainly during screenshare.
What I want to achieve
Stop notifications temporarily from popping up and then resume them later. All notifications during this time should be popped up when I resume notifications. I can do pgrep dunst | xargs kill to stop and then later manually restart it, but then I lose all my notifications in the mid time. Mainly helpful when doing a screenshare.
Is there any way to achieve this behavior? Please help.

You can use notify-send "DUNST_COMMAND_TOGGLE" to toggle the display of notifications. Received notifications during the pause will be displayed afterwards.
The other options are:
DUNST_COMMAND_RESUME

And with the latest dunst release (1.5.0) there is a dedicated command/helper script for such cases: dunstctl

Ah nice! Thanks, I didn't know that one either. Now I can finally check for current status!
