Is there a way to pass parameters to verbs, when using the inkscape commandline? I can't seem to find anything, so my guess is no - but in any case it would be needed for --verb=DialogAlignDistribute

There is no way to pass parameters to verbs (with the current implementation, they don't take parameters by design).

Quoting from comment #1 «Verbs are not designed to take parameters (…)»

With regard to 'Align & Distribute': if additional verbs would be created for individual commands in the dialog (e.g. also used for keyboard shortcuts), you'd be able to use them from the command line as well.
