docs/cli of the three trees for the commands the previous revision unified, written the way each tree writes its pages: komorebi-for-kde 6 pages (colour/behaviour spelling), komorebi-for-mac 7 (the shorter scrolling descriptions), the Windows tree 2 (eager-focus, promote-focus). The Windows docs/cli is otherwise stale (older clap output, three pages missing; found in step 4 prep) and the other pages are left alone.
Verified: the KDE pages are byte-identical to komorebic docgen (166 of 166 against the real binary); the macOS and Windows pages are the docgen-all output with the same page transform that made 158 of 158 macOS pages identical before. Diffs are two-line spelling or description changes (see the previous revision).
Adds section 7 (the seven consequences of plan step 7, each with its supporting citations and a status: CONFIRMED, CORRECTED or TARGET; plus three findings the plan did not list: a batch/transaction scope, the workspace methods that exist only on KDE, and error-type differences) and section 8 (everything not confirmed, with how to confirm it on a Mac, a Windows guest or by reading). Verified against the citations of sections 2 to 6 on wip-main aa52fdc4d9e5. Not verified: see section 8.
Adds section 6: event sources per platform and how they reach the window manager (references the step 5 prep entries rather than redoing them) and the evidence for the 'set_rect returns once requested, the frame is observed later' contract: KDE queued commands with an optimistic table write, macOS arrival.rs, settle.rs and animator verification, Windows live_resize settling. Verified against wip-main aa52fdc4d9e5: K/kwin/mod.rs, K/kwin/state.rs, K/window_manager_event_listener.rs, K/backend/mod.rs, M/arrival.rs, M/settle.rs, M/animation/animator.rs, M/window.rs, M/window_manager_event_listener.rs, W/winevent_listener.rs, W/windows_callbacks.rs, W/live_resize.rs. Not verified: any runtime ordering of events.
Adds sections 4 (identity: id types per platform, what acting on a macOS window from a bare id would need, where each tree keeps per-window platform data, HWND width including an observation of 440 distinct HWNDs from the Windows guest logs) and 5 (coordinates: Rect convention, origin and y direction, DPI and scale handling, shadow and frame compensation, and where each conversion lives). Closes two plan items: Windows HWND width and macOS Retina points versus pixels. Verified against wip-main aa52fdc4d9e5: komorebi-layouts/src/rect.rs, W/window.rs, W/windows_api.rs, W/lib.rs, K/kwin/state.rs, K/kwin/bridge.js, M/window.rs, M/application.rs, M/macos_api.rs, M/core_graphics/mod.rs, M/core/rect_ext.rs, M/border_manager/border.rs, M/animation/ghost.rs, M/animation/capture.rs, and ~/e2e-w0 logs read-only for the HWND range. Not verified: HWND width as a Microsoft guarantee, AX values on scaled-resolution or mixed-DPI displays, negative monitor origins on Windows.
Adds section 3.3: the macOS main thread (AppKit and CFRunLoop loop, what runs there), every other thread with its locks, every DispatchQueue::main exec_sync/exec_async/blocking-channel site with file:line and whether the main-side closure takes the window-manager lock, and a precise statement of the possible event-thread/main-thread deadlock, marked by reading, not reproduced. Verified against wip-main aa52fdc4d9e5: M/main.rs, M/macos_api.rs, M/monitor_reconciliator.rs, M/border_manager/{mod,border,ns_window}.rs, M/animation/{animator,ghost}.rs, M/process_event.rs, M/process_command.rs, M/reaper.rs, M/settle.rs, M/workspace_reconciliator.rs, M/window.rs, M/application.rs, dispatch2-0.3.1/src/queue.rs. Not verified: that NSWorkspace and CG display callbacks arrive on main (Apple behaviour), that CFRunLoopAddSource from a non-main thread is safe, that AXUIElement is thread-safe (the code asserts Send+Sync), and the deadlock itself (needs a Mac).
Adds sections 3.1 (KDE) and 3.2 (Windows): every thread that exists, what it locks, and which threads call the platform API. Closes two items the plan listed as unverified: which threads call backend() in KDE (traced: main at start-up and stop, the event thread, command threads, the monitor reconciliator and its settle thread, and tests through with_backend; never the KWin bridge or the hotkey threads) and which threads call WindowsApi, with the thread-affine subset. Verified against wip-main aa52fdc4d9e5: K/main.rs, K/kwin/mod.rs, K/kwin/hotkeys.rs, K/process_event.rs, K/process_command.rs, K/monitor_reconciliator.rs, K/backend/mod.rs, W/main.rs, W/winevent_listener.rs, W/windows_callbacks.rs, W/border_manager, W/stackbar_manager, W/animation, W/live_resize.rs, W/reaper.rs. Not verified: Microsoft's documented behaviour of WINEVENT_OUTOFCONTEXT and cross-thread SetWindowPos, and every Windows call chain (the table lists thread entry points and the API each reaches, not every path).
Adds section 2: the operation table (one row per operation present on at least two platforms: KDE Backend method | Windows | macOS | semantic differences), the platform-subsystem table, and the re-measured counts with the exact method. Verified against wip-main aa52fdc4d9e5: K/backend/mod.rs, K/kwin/mod.rs, W/windows_api.rs, W/window.rs, M/macos_api.rs, M/window.rs, M/core_graphics/mod.rs, M/lib.rs. Not verified: how each AX call behaves against real applications (needs a Mac), and the counts are of source text, not of executed calls.
Creates docs/dev/seam.md with sections 1 (purpose and how to read) and the corrections list. Verified against wip-main aa52fdc4d9e5 by reading K/backend/mod.rs, K/kwin/mod.rs, K/kwin/state.rs, M/macos_api.rs, M/window.rs, M/arrival.rs, M/process_event.rs, M/process_command.rs, W/windows_api.rs. Counts quoted here are measured in the next revision. Not verified: any runtime behaviour (the document is reading-only).
komorebic pan --stream reads the gestures of fingers on a touchpad from standard input, as
whkd writes them for a swipe of three or four fingers (docs/gesture-stream.md in its
repository): a line for each begin, move, end and cancel, with the distances in centimetres,
and any field or message that it does not know ignored. The row follows the fingers while they
are down, and when they lift it comes to rest with a column against an edge of the screen,
going at the speed that the times of the moves say that the fingers were. Focus goes to the
nearest column in view if the focused one is not. A gesture that is given up, or that is
not finished when the stream stops, puts the row back to what it was.
komorebic works out nothing but what it is asked to: --sensitivity multiplies the distances,
--reversed flips the way that the row goes, and --paging takes a step for every two
centimetres that the fingers go, as komorebic pan does, and not move the row with them. Moves
that wait while one is told are added up, as whkd says that they may be.
A gesture is told to komorebi on one connection, which it handles in order, as messages
that are sent on a connection each are not. With ghost movement the pictures that cover the
windows near the screen are taken when the fingers go down, a move of the fingers sets them
where the row puts the windows and does nothing else, and when the fingers lift they glide to
where it comes to rest, over the time that an animation takes, and the windows are shown. Without
it the workspace is laid out a step at a time, as it is for a drag. Ten centimetres of the
fingers move the row the width of the screen. The golden transcript of whkd and the swipes
of its demo are fixtures of the tests that read the stream.
komorebic pan <left|right> moves the view along the row of the Scrolling layout by a column
without moving focus first, and lets it come to rest with a column against an edge of the
screen. Focus goes to the nearest column on the screen if the focused one has gone off it. It
does nothing in the other layouts.
The way that the view goes is the way that focus goes for the commands that have directions:
panning to the left brings what is to the left of the screen into view, which is to move the
row to the right.
This is a command that a wheel can be bound to, as it is with whkd:
alt + wheelup : komorebic pan left.
Workspaces are going to slide in and out of the monitor when they are
switched, and that is its own kind of animation (workspace) next to moving
and transparency: it is turned on, and given a duration and an easing, the
same way (animation.enabled, duration and style take a workspace entry, as do
komorebic animation, animation-duration and animation-style with
--animation-type workspace), with the duration and the easing of the other
animations when it has none of its own.
Animations being enabled for everything enables it too, and it can be turned
off in particular (animation.enabled with workspace set to false), so that
enabled: true keeps meaning everything. It needs ghost movement, as the
windows slide as ghosts. Nothing uses it yet.
Remove the single-monitor restrictions on the Scrolling layout. Each
workspace keeps a strip of its own, and a window is seen on whichever monitor
it overlaps, so placement now looks at the other monitors: a window that
scrolled out of view past an edge that another monitor is next to is hidden
instead of parked, and a partly visible one is cut down to its own work area.
A window that comes back into view is shown again first, but only the one at
the front of its container: the others are the tabs at the back of a stack,
which are hidden because they are at the back.
schema.json gets the center_focused_column layout option as a boolean or one
of Never, Always and OnOverflow, and schema.bar.json, which embeds the socket
messages, gets the new scrolling commands.
Adds a new initial_window_placement_rules workspace configuration option
that allows users to control where new tiled windows are inserted in the
container list. Supports placement by named strategy (Primary,
Secondary, BeforeFocused, AfterFocused, Last), fixed container index, or
per-application matching rules with OR/AND logic.
Adds a top-level layout_defaults setting that defines default
layout_options and layout_options_rules per layout. Workspaces without
their own layout_options or layout_options_rules automatically inherit
the global defaults. If a workspace defines either setting, all global
defaults for that layout are fully replaced.
Adds layout_options_rules to workspace configuration, allowing
layout_options to dynamically change based on container count. Uses the
same threshold semantics as layout_rules: when container count >=
threshold, the highest matching rule fully replaces the base
layout_options.
A new System Tray widget has been added to komorebi-bar, bringing native
Windows system tray functionality directly into the bar.
Special thanks to the Zebar project and its contributors for developing
the systray-util crate library that makes Windows system tray
integration possible.
The widget intercepts system tray icon data by creating a hidden "spy"
window that mimics the Windows taskbar. When applications use the
Shell_NotifyIcon API to manage their tray icons, the widget receives the
same broadcast messages, allowing it to monitor all system tray activity
while forwarding messages to the real taskbar to avoid disruption.
Users can configure which icons to hide using flexible rules. A plain
string matches by exe name (case-insensitive). A structured object can
match on exe, tooltip, and/or GUID fields using AND logic. Each field
supports matching strategies from komorebi's window rules (Equals,
StartsWith, EndsWith, Contains, Regex, and their negated variants),
allowing precise filtering even when multiple icons share the same exe
and GUID. An info button opens a floating panel listing all icons with
their properties and copy buttons, making it easy to identify which
values to use in filter rules.
The widget fully supports mouse interactions including left-click,
right-click, middle-click, and double-click actions on tray icons.
Double-click support uses the LeftDoubleClick action from systray-util
0.2.0, which sends WM_LBUTTONDBLCLK and NIN_SELECT messages. It handles
right-aligned placement correctly by adjusting the rendering order and
toggle button arrow directions to maintain consistent visual appearance
regardless of which panel the widget is placed in.
Some system tray icons register a click callback but never actually
respond to click messages, effectively becoming "zombie" icons from an
interaction standpoint. The widget includes fallback commands for known
problematic icons that override the native click action with a direct
shell command (e.g. opening Windows Security or volume settings).
The implementation uses a background thread with its own tokio runtime
to handle the async systray events, communicating with the UI thread
through crossbeam channels. Icon images are cached efficiently using
hash-based keys that update when icons change. Rapid icon updates are
deduplicated to prevent UI freezing, and image conversion (RgbaImage to
ColorImage) is performed on the background thread to keep the UI
responsive.
The widget automatically detects and removes stale icons whose owning
process has exited, using the Win32 IsWindow API on a configurable
interval. A manual refresh button is also available for immediate
cleanup.
A shortcuts button can be configured to toggle komorebi-shortcuts by
killing the process if running or starting it otherwise. The refresh,
info, and shortcuts buttons can each be placed in the main visible area
or in the overflow section.
Added customizable split ratios for layouts via layout_options
configuration. Users can now specify column_ratios and row_ratios arrays
to control window sizing in various layouts.
Ratios are validated at config load time: values are clamped between 0.1
and 0.9 to prevent zero-sized windows, and arrays are automatically
truncated when their cumulative sum would reach or exceed 1.0. This
ensures there's always remaining space for additional windows.
Ratio support varies by layout:
- Columns and Rows layouts use the full arrays for each column/row width
or height
- VerticalStack, RightMainVerticalStack, and HorizontalStack use the
first ratio for the primary split and the remaining ratios for stack
windows
- BSP uses the first value from each array for horizontal and vertical
splits respectively
- Grid only supports column_ratios since row counts vary dynamically.
- UltrawideVerticalStack uses the first two column ratios for center and
left columns.
All ratio-related values are now defined as constants in
default_layout.rs: MAX_RATIOS (5), MIN_RATIO (0.1), MAX_RATIO (0.9),
DEFAULT_RATIO (0.5), and DEFAULT_SECONDARY_RATIO (0.25 for
UltrawideVerticalStack).
This commit ensures that we are using show_total_activity and
show_activity instead of show_total_data_transmitted and
show_network_activity in the komorebi.bar.example.json file which is
populated for users in the quickstart command.
JSONSchema is not smart enough to resolve aliases for backwards compat,
which results in confusing behaviour for new users trying to edit this
file.
fix#1596
This commit adds a new SocketMessage variant PromoteSwap and
corresponding komorebic promote-swap command.
PromoteSwap will also promote the focused window container to the
largest tile in the layout, but instead of removing the focused
container x from the Ring and inserting it into position 0, possibly
changing the positions of other windows between 0 and x, the indices x
and 0 in the Ring will be swapped directly.
This commit adds visual feedback in the form of a ghost tile for
preselections made by the preselect-direction command.
A container with the id "PRESELECT" will be added to the workspace, and
replaced when the next manage-able window is spawned.
A new command, cancel-preselect, has been added to remove both the
preselection index and the ghost tile if the user changes their mind.
This commit adds a new feature to preselect the direction of the next
spawned window with a corresponding komorebic preselect-direction
command which takes an OperationDirection.
If the OperationDirection is valid from the current position, it will be
stored in the Workspace state, and then read, applied, and deleted when
the next manage-able window is spawned.
Direction preselection does not (yet?) support the Grid layout.
This commit adds a new StateQuery variant, FocusedContainerKind, which
will will return None if there is not focused container on the current
workspace (ie. it is empty), Single if the focused container contains a
single window, or Stack if the focused container contains more than one
window.
This commit adds a simple egui helper application which shows a list of
shortcuts defined in a user's whkdrc file. Parsing AHK files is not
supported.
In addition to listing out shortcuts defined in the whkdrc file, the top
line allows users to add filter a filter to narrow down the list of
commands and key bindings to the ones they are interested in.
A new komorebic command "toggle-shortcuts" has been introduced which
will first attempt to kill "komorebi-shortcuts.exe", and then exit if
the kill signal was successful (ie. a process was closed), or proceed to
open "komorebi-shortcuts.exe" if the kill signal was not successful (ie.
no process was closed, so we should open one).
"komorebi-shortcuts.exe" has been added as a floating application in
lib.rs to allow for users to use the "komorebic move" command to
manipulate its position via their existing keyboard bindings.
This commit makes sure the border's width and offset is removed when you
disable the borders.
If you want to still have that size on your gaps when borders are
disabled then you should add it to the `default_container_padding` or to
the per-monitor or per-workspace `container_padding`.
This commit introduces three new commands, session-float-rule,
session-float-rules, and clear-session-float-rules, which add a
composite float rule for the currently focused window for the duration
of the komorebi session, print the float rules scoped to the current
komorebi session, and clear any float rules scoped to the current
komorebi session respectively.
The composite rule created is fairly strict, using
MatchingStrategy::Equals on the Exe, Class and Title.
Users can run session-float-rule as they are working to avoid having to
break their workflow and edit their configuration file, and when they
are ready, they can run session-float-rules to print out the composite
rules which have been generated and added to the current session to
further refine before adding them to their configuration files.
re #1402
This commit adds StateQuery::FocusedWorkspaceLayout variant to allow
queries for focused workspace layout via komorebic query.
This handles floating workspaces returning "None".
This commit adds two new komorebic commands, move-to-last-workspace and
send-to-last-workspace, which move or send the focused window to the
last focused workspace on the focused monitor.
This commit adds a variation of the cycle-workspace command which will
attempt to focus the next empty workspace in the given direction (with
the usual wraparound). If there are no empty workspaces available, this
command will do nothing.
