Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
There is a problem when launching apps on
Windows, when on amultiplemonitor setup.Whenever an app is launched, it is launched on the
last monitorthat it was closed on. This is annoying when you need the same app on multiple monitors launched, for example, a terminal or a text editor on each monitor. Every time you would need to go theother monitorto move it to the actual monitor you need.Describe the solution you'd like
I think a solution would be, to make
komorebimove the app after it was launched to the correct monitor, which is focused.Describe alternatives you've considered
A workaround that worked for me is to use
PowerToys, that has a tool named FancyZones that has an option to turn on, to move the newly created window to the current active monitor, as described in this issue: https://github.com/microsoft/PowerToys/issues/8893.Additional context
To reproduce:
notepadfrom windows start menu (or PowerToys launcher) on theselected monitor.first monitorthat it was launching on, even if you go on thesecond monitorto launch it from there.second monitorand then close it, then it launches on thesecond monitor.@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (May 15, 2024):
Closing this because I don't believe implementing this is worth the complexity that this introduces into the codebase; if someone is already using a tiling window manager, they should use twm-native options such as
workspace_rulesorinitial_workspace_rulesinstead of trying to wrangle DWM.
