Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Alt tabbing to a window obscured by the monocle takes you to the monocle frame, but does not reveal it.
Describe the solution you'd like
Alt+Tabbing to a window obscured by the monocle should disable monocle and focus the alt+tabbed window
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (May 19, 2024):
This is possible to implement, but doing so would break the ability to focus left/right to a different monitor while in monocle mode (monocle mode would be toggled off)
Unfortunately Windows does not send a unique event for focus via alt-tab, so all event where a window is shown on a workspace either via the focus command or via alt-tab would toggle off monocle mode ^
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (May 19, 2024):
Actually, this behaviour above is already broken ^ 🤔
@rp1231 commented on GitHub (May 19, 2024):
I'm a little confused. Which behavior is the broken one?
I'm currently able to focus left/right to a different monitor while in monocle mode on the latest branch.
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (May 19, 2024):
This is broken for me on master, taking a look now

Need to get some more feedback on this:
57825db886The only way this can work is if the monocle state doesn't persist across workspace transitions
@rp1231 commented on GitHub (May 19, 2024):
Hmm... I would personally prefer the existing behavior then.....
In which the monocle state persists through workspace changes.
Also, coming from a very naive point of view, would it be a lot of work to implement a replacement for the alt tab window that behaves and sends the unique Id needed?
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (May 19, 2024):
I have fixed the horizontal focus moves towards other monitors from a monocle container.
Regarding the alt-tab behaviour, for now I have settled to let an alt-tabbed window flash above a monocle container briefly before being hidden again, instead of having it stay on top in a somewhat broken visual state.
For an alt-tab replacement, I think it is possible, and if someone wanted to build that it would be possible to integrate it with komorebi's state via the
komorebi_clientlibrary.@rp1231 commented on GitHub (May 19, 2024):
Thanks a lot!

What would be your advice regarding the alt-tab switcher as a project for a beginner who has just finished the cs50 course and who is just starting to learn rust via the rust book. Is it too advanced of a project or would it be doable?
@rp1231 commented on GitHub (May 20, 2024):
I found this https://github.com/ike9000e/Classic-AltTab That I thought I could maybe port to rust as a learning project and integrate with komorebi.
edit: found this as well by the creator of explorer patcher https://github.com/valinet/sws
@rp1231 commented on GitHub (May 20, 2024):
Also I'm making a feedback post regarding the need for a better virtual desktops api on the windows feedback app.
What are the things that you would consider important with regards to komorebi?
So that I can include those things in the feedback post.

Found another bug, Closing a monocled window via clicking the close button or Alt+F4 results in a blank monocle which then has to be exited using the toggle monocle keyboard shortcut.
