Yay! A komorebi update!! I can finally know which workspace what eblongs to, without keeping track of it in my head! Keep going man. your work ethic is inspiring
This is one of the very best Tiling Managers I've tried on any OS. The developer is incredibly kind and talented. If you're on Windows, this is a must have! Thanks Jeezy!!
Just have to say a big thank you for the Komorebi tiling wm - I run a surface pro 11 with arm cpu and can effortlessly compile and run both komorebi and the whkd. Work flawlessly on my older SQ3 surface too
It's great to know that komorebi is also working well on ARM machines! Just this week I made a little fix to ensure that it can be compiled for old 32-bit machines as well :D
I'm loving the new bar. I was using YASB for a status bar and it crashed often and was flakey and required a restart of komorebi just to fix. I've been using the new bar for a few days and I've had zero crashes or issues. Thanks for all the hard work!
Glad to hear you are having a good experience with the status bar! I wanted to prioritize stability in the bar above all else, sometimes at the expense of features that are available in other status bars, and I'm happy to see this is paying off
My setup is really basic, I just launch a new VM in Hyper-V whenever I want to record one of these "clean start" videos, but it usually means I have to wait 30m to download the latest ISO from the MS servers 😿
Is there any way to automatically disable Komorebi when there is an application in fullscreen? (like games for example) I'm using ``alt + p : komorebic toggle-pause`` when opening my games, but it would be nice if Komorebi could detect when there is something in fullscreen 😁 I use two monitors, sometimes I press my hotkeys while playing and end up moving windows from one monitor to another (I use Alt+WASD to move them)
There isn't anything to do this automatically; after pausing, you can try starting your games on another Virtual Desktop because komorebi only operates on the VD that it was started on, and ignores all events it receives when the user is on a different VD
The bar seems to be not showing properly (the text is cut in half as the bar ends) on my laptop with the quickstart configuration. I guess it doesn't handle fractional scaling properly?
Again, quite a reasonable question for any tiling WM - does it properly handle and iimit window size for DX11/DX12 games in fixed/borderless screen mode (not windowed)?
How do i get only the top status bar? It looks nice. I am not that familiar with tiling window managers hence a possibly stupid question. I like how instructions are nicely shown. 👍
You would still need to install Komorebi, but if you really don't want anything of what komorebi offers, but the top bar, you could configure your monitors to be: "monitors": [ { "workspaces": [ { "name": "I" } ] } ] It would create a single monitor with a single workspace with no tiling enabled, I wouldn't really recommend installing komorebi without actually using it, but hey, it's possible.
Is there any way to autostart komorebi at startup in the background? For me it runs after logging in and I always have to wait for a good 15 - 20 seconds for komorebi and a few other apps to start up.
I'm afraid the "enable-autostart" command is the best we have- I know it can be a little slow especially when there are a lot of startup apps on a system 😞
@@LGUG2Z Can't this be mitigated via PowerShell to give it startup priority? If it fired up in a couple seconds and we had a pause option without relying on AHK (to me that's a bit overkill), I think that'd be super sweet! I've been testing the latest build and it's very solid 👍
So far the best tiling manager for windows imo. Thank you for your work. I am using ‘alt + p’ to pause the komorebic commands. However, I find that it still doesn’t allow for using similar keyboard combinations like alt+L, alt+K in vscode. Is there a way to enable vscode alt based shortcuts when komorebic is paused?
Thank you! 'alt + p' is pausing komorebi, but whkd which handles the key bindings is still running in the background - whkd doesn't really have a pause function unfortunately. You can try changing the keybind to `komorebic toggle-pause && Stop-Process -name:whkd` - this will pause komorebi and kill the whkd process, then when you're ready to start whkd again, you can run `komorebic start --whkd` to start it in the background. I'm not 100% sure but I think that if you use AHK to handle your bindings it probably has a way to ignore them for certain applications 🤔
@@LGUG2Z Thank you for pointing me to the AHK direction. I got it to work using the Suspend(alt shift P, for me) command in AHK that suspends the keybindings altogether, and allows for seamless use of all keybindings in vscode, and then to toggle the Suspend(or Unsuspend) ahk keybindings, hit the same key combinations as Suspend to renable ahk and thereby enabling komorebi again. Works seamlessly with ahk. 🙂
@@theconstantchange I'm glad this worked out for you! I didn't know about the AHK Suspend command, I've made a note for this for the next time someone asks me how to do this 🙏

Sure, you can use AutoHotkey, which supports forced overrides of system-reserved Win key shortcuts, instead of whkd: lgug2z.github.io/komorebi/common-workflows/autohotkey.html
@@madthumbs1564 I don't use any shortcut tied to Win key. Also mechanical memory from Hyprland won't let me use Alt. And then after day of work on Komorebi I'll return home to my Hyprland setup and feel wrong using Win key coz I spent a day with Alt :D

Shortcuts are cool! 😊 I move my cursor between aps on multiple monitors with Caps + A + H, L and switch tabs with Caps + A + J, K with AutoHotKey... I found that if you create the shortcut by yourself, it is easier to remember it than if you use shortcuts created by someone else...
@@randomsky2008 Oh, don't get me wrong. Shortcuts are great but I prefer to learn useful ones organically while I use the thing. Having to print out several pages of them and then operate my computer like it's a Soviet era spacecraft is not something I can do at work. Which is still not uncommon for these poweruser oriented projects.

VERY interesting; great job!
Thank you!
Hell yeah! I'll give that bar a try soon. I assume new features can be obtained with winget update as well :)
Yes, the bar is integrated with Komorebi through winget.
Hell yeah! Just make sure you run `komorebic stop` before the update so that the binary can be updated

Fixed on last week's nightly release and will be part of v0.1.30
You can also just double the viewport height on v0.1.29
