As some super users would know:

gnome-open /home/username/somefile.txt

will open a window in gnome.

Is it possible to open a window and place it a corner of the window from the command line?

gnome-open /home/username/somefile.txt -top -left

(I know the command is made up)
This would be the equivalent of opening the file and pressing ctrl + alt + num9.

Thank you all

    You could try this, but it will not always work:

    gnome-open file.txt && sleep 2 && wmctrl -r “:ACTIVE:” -e
    1,0,0,-1,-1
