With
focus-follows-mouseenabled and Taskbar docked to the side of a display instead of the bottom you can't use the systray "show hidden icons" expansion widget (>) to show the overflow apps. It expands okay and shows the extra icons, but as soon as the cursor moves off the main taskbar the overflow menu collapses and disappears.(I'm very happy to have found this program. I've been trying to find a tiliing window manager for some time and none have quite worked for me. There are remaining things for me to puzzle out (I don't understand how padding works, but so far so good!

@maphew I have the same issue when trying to do anything which the tray which is why I now use a toggle for FFM; it's still not amazing but it's better than the frustrating behaviour when the focus gets shifted away from the tray.
As I mention in #7, the
komorebicffm commands are just a wrapper around the native Windows ffm functionality which has been around/hidden probably since Windows XP (or before).Creating a true FFM replacement that can ignore the taskbar and system tray is quite a big undertaking and it's not one that I'm going to have time to investigate myself any time soon, but I would be happy to review and provide feedback for a PR that implements this in
komorebi, or alternatively, if a dedicated ffm crate comes out in the future, I would happy to accept a PR integrating it withkomorebiccommands@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Sep 4, 2021):
@maphew If you're still interested, I have put together an initial custom implementation of focus follows mouse that should avoid the behaviour you reported in this issue. If you'd like to try it out and provide feedback on any edge cases you find, please join us in issue #7 !
