Similar to https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/issues/584 it'd be great if there was a way to set Komorebi to ignore/float all full screen/maximized windows.
I know that by maximizing a restored and tiled window will fullscreen it when you need it which is great. But when a new window opens, it snaps that maximized window back into tiled, despite the maximized window status. To then maximize it you then need to restore the window, then maximize it again.
I know maximizing windows sort of goes against the idea of tiling, and the 'correct' way of doing things is to minimize everything except the single window you want large. but it'd be great if there was at least an option to be able to maximize a window that komorebi leaves alone until the user restores/unmaximizes it again that floats above other opened windows. It's great when you just briefly need to see an entire window.

I believe this was fixed a few versions ago, please re-open if this behaviour still persists
