Window manager commands in native window manager multiwindow mode

I ask this question from time to time just in case someone new sees it and decides to work on it or others might agree that it is a priority. Other people have raised this over the last few years as well. The issue is that I would like to raise windows from within a program (Emacs to be precise),

Menus from Fedora virtual machine off screen
