Originally created by @sayandipdutta on GitHub (Nov 18, 2022).

First of all, really love komorebi !!

Describe the bug
I have an AHK script that I run when the power button is pressed on my laptop (Acer Nitro 5). I am trying to add a float rule for this window, but no matter what identifier I put in it gets tiled in Komorebi.

To Reproduce
Here is the power button script, adapted from here.
And this is what I have tried to make it float:

Run, komorebic.exe identify-tray-application exe "AutoHotkeyU64.exe", , Hide
Run, komorebic.exe identify-tray-application exe "AutoHotkey.exe", , Hide

Run, komorebic.exe float-rule title "Power Menu", , Hide
Run, komorebic.exe float-rule class AutoHotkeyGUI, , Hide
Run, komorebic.exe float-rule exe AutoHotkey.exe, , Hide

Expected behavior
I would expect it to float whenever I press power button, instead of getting tiled.

Screenshots and Videos
Current Behavior:

Expected Behavior:

@sayandipdutta Can you provide a version of the power script that runs when a specific key combination is pressed that I could use to investigate this? I tried using the script that you shared on pastebin but I can't get a GUI to come up.

Actually nevermind, I was able to get this to bind to F1 to bring up the menu. After adding a float rule for the title "Power Menu" I get what I believe is the expected behaviour:

; keybinds here....

And I am starting the window manager with komorebic start -a.

@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Nov 19, 2022): Actually nevermind, I was able to get this to bind to F1 to bring up the menu. After adding a float rule for the title "Power Menu" I get what I believe is the expected behaviour: ![image](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/13164844/202826233-2b4d1aa6-365f-48b8-9603-5016a54de171.png) This is the configuration file I'm using: ```ahk #SingleInstance Force #Include %A_ScriptDir%\komorebic.lib.ahk #Include %A_ScriptDir%\komorebi.generated.ahk FloatRule("title", "Power Menu") ; Enable hot reloading of changes to this file WindowHidingBehaviour("minimize") ; Set cross-monitor move behaviour to insert CrossMonitorMoveBehaviour("insert") ; Enable hot reloading of changes to this file WatchConfiguration("enable") ; Ensure there is 1 workspace created on monitor 0 EnsureWorkspaces(0, 1) ; Ensure there is 1 workspace created on monitor 0 EnsureWorkspaces(1, 1) ; Configure the invisible border dimensions InvisibleBorders(7, 0, 14, 7) ; Configure the 1st workspace WorkspaceName(0, 0, "bsp") ; Configure workspace layout rules WorkspaceLayoutRule(0, 0, 0, "ultrawide-vertical-stack") ; WorkspaceLayoutRule(0, 0, 0, "bsp") ; for livestreaming in widescreen WorkspaceCustomLayoutRule(0, 0, 4, "~/custom.yaml") ContainerPadding(0, 0, 20) WorkspaceLayout(1, 0, "rows") ContainerPadding(1, 0, 20) ; Enable active window border ActiveWindowBorderColour(66, 165, 245, "single") ActiveWindowBorderColour(245, 165, 66, "stack") ActiveWindowBorder("enable") GlobalWorkAreaOffset(0, 5, 0, 0) MonitorWorkAreaOffset(0, 0, 5, 0, 0) ; for regular use ; MonitorWorkAreaOffset(0, 1000, 0, 1000, 0) ; for livestreaming in widescreen ; Allow komorebi to start managing windows CompleteConfiguration() ; keybinds here.... ``` And I am starting the window manager with `komorebic start -a`.
