Describe the bug
Despite setting the shortcuts to allow me to focus on workspace 4 and 5 and moving windows to 4 and 5 using alt + 4, alt + 5 and alt + shift + 4 and alt + shift + 5, whkd does not issue the command to komorebi.

If I type the command manually into powershell, komorebi switches my focus or the terminal window to the appropriate workspace. I've also tried alt + 6 and alt + shift + 6. I can focus the workspace, but I can't move anything to it using whkd. I also tried alt + shift + v, same behavior.

I've set up my whkd file like so:

.shell powershell

# Reload whkd configuration
# alt + o                 : taskkill /f /im whkd.exe && start /b whkd # if shell is cmd
alt + o                 : taskkill /f /im whkd.exe && Start-Process whkd -WindowStyle hidden # if shell is pwsh / powershell
alt + shift + o         : komorebic reload-configuration

# App shortcuts - these require shell to be pwsh / powershell
# The apps will be focused if open, or launched if not open
# alt + f                 : if ($wshell.AppActivate('Firefox') -eq $False) { start firefox }
# alt + b                 : if ($wshell.AppActivate('Chrome') -eq $False) { start chrome }
alt + e					  : if ($wshell.AppActivate('Edge') -eq $False) { start edge }

# Focus windows
alt + h                 : komorebic focus left
alt + j                 : komorebic focus down
alt + k                 : komorebic focus up
alt + l                 : komorebic focus right
alt + shift + oem_4     : komorebic cycle-focus previous # oem_4 is [
alt + shift + oem_6     : komorebic cycle-focus next # oem_6 is ]

# Move windows
alt + shift + h         : komorebic move left
alt + shift + j         : komorebic move down
alt + shift + k         : komorebic move up
alt + shift + l         : komorebic move right
alt + shift + return    : komorebic promote

# Stack windows
alt + left              : komorebic stack left
alt + down              : komorebic stack down
alt + up                : komorebic stack up
alt + right             : komorebic stack right

# Window manager options

alt + p                 : komorebic toggle-pause

# Layouts

I did add the shortcuts myself. I can switch to workspaces higher than 4, but I can’t move windows to workspaces higher than 4.

@kxcrl commented on GitHub (Dec 9, 2023):

Stopped by for something else and saw this. It's working for me.
Just curious, did you add the named workspaces in your komorebi.json file?
The move-to workspace command seems to just go to the index in the array there, and if it isn't named at start up time, things get a bit strange, it seems.

I'm using the EnsureNamedWorkspaces command in AHK, which seems to be running:

RunWait("komorebic.exe ensure-named-workspaces " monitor " " names, , "Hide")

Maybe adding both of those to your setup would help?

Usually this is the case when new whkd options are added but whkd itself isn't restarted. Closing.
