Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The release of AHKv2 has been very frustrating; besides the difficulty in replicating the komorebic.lib AHK library for v2, whenever running v2 and sending commands that change window focus, komorebi is faced with access denied errors. I'm not sure it's worth investing the time into achieving feature parity between AHKv1 and AHKv2 for komorebi users.

Describe the solution you'd like
First-class support in komorebi to load configuration from a ps1 file, which could also be used to start a hotkey daemon that I'm working on, similarly to how sxhkd is usually started in bspwmrc.

"First-class support" would include auto-loading at start up and hot-reloading changes to a komorebi.ps1 file, as well as support for generating application-specific configuration tweaks that could be imported in a komorebi.ps1 file.

Describe alternatives you've considered
I've tried using komorebik and hotkeyD, but I think that the sxhkd/skhd-style grammar is ultimately the way forward here instead of TOML or INI files.

Additional context
How this works in bspwmrc (from the example):

#! /bin/sh

pgrep -x sxhkd > /dev/null || sxhkd &

bspc monitor -d I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X

bspc config border_width         2
bspc config window_gap          12

bspc config split_ratio          0.52
bspc config borderless_monocle   true
bspc config gapless_monocle      true

bspc rule -a Gimp desktop='^8' state=floating follow=on
bspc rule -a Chromium desktop='^2'
bspc rule -a mplayer2 state=floating
bspc rule -a Kupfer.py focus=on
bspc rule -a Screenkey manage=off

How it might look for komorebi (based on what I'm currently playing with):

if (!(Get-Process swhkd -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
  Start-Process swhkd -WindowStyle hidden
}
