Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
It's like pressing the
Windows key + Home, but limited to the current workspace.I have dual monitors, so this practice affects the other monitor.
Describe the solution you'd like
Wish could add a shortcut to minimize all windows, leaving only the active one, and only works on the current workspace.
This way I can quickly maximize the window I want to use without affecting the other displays.
I know there's a monocle function, but it's a bit confusing for me to use.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Maybe can force
Windows key+Hometo work only in the current workspace?I don't know anything about programming, so I'm probably being a little whimsical.
Additional context
Unfortunately I don't understand English either, the above was translated with DeepL and slightly embellished by me, I am sorry if I have offended you in any way.
Please let me know if I've expressed anything unclearly and I'll try to add to it, thanks LGUG2Z for creating such a great software😊
@CtByte commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024):
I feel like it could be a useful addition to be able to minimize all inactive windows to clean up a workspace.
Perhaps if you only want to maximize a window for a while, you could use the
Win + Up arrowinstead of thekomorebic toggle-monoclesince the idea is very similar. UseWin + Down arrowto restore or minimize a window.Also, if you want to organize all your windows on a workspace, you can use the
komorebic stack-allcommand. However, this is not available in v0.1.26 and will probably be part of the next release (v0.1.27).( I hope this will make sense when you translate it 😄 )
@ClixTW commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024):
Perhaps you have used a simpler way of saying it, I can see exactly what you mean, thanks.
I've also tried
Win + Up arrow, and the problem with this approach is:There are many windows on the screen ➡️ maximized one of them ➡️ open another window ➡️ back to the screen of many windows, instead of one on each side.
I want to skip the process of manually minimizing other windows one by one.
I've looked at other tiling window management and don't see a similar need, perhaps my needs conflict with this type of window management? 🤔
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024):
Whenever I want to see the desktop I just switch to an empty workspace- am I missing something here?
If you want just the focused window you can also switch to monocle mode
There is also the toggle-maximize command if you specifically want the window maximized
@ClixTW commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024):
Suppose I want to make the screen from this:
Becomes this:
I need to minimize three windows:
(three steps, depending on how many windows there are)
If I could just leave the browser, I would just open the window I want to put on the right. (two steps)
I noticed you edited it several times, thanks for the time you spent on me. By the way, your YouTube channel is very impressive 👍
@CtByte commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024):
When I have many windows open on a workspace and I want to focus on a window, I sometimes use the
komorebic move-to-workspacecommand as well. This will move the active window to a new workspace and switches the workspace as well. This will be more obvious if you have the komorebi bar (which is coming in the future). You can also try zebar.If you move the "github" window to workspace 2 then you can just open a new window to the right. The other 3 windows would stay on workspace 1.
@ClixTW commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024):
Yes, I have just started using tiling window manager and am extremely excited to have discovered komorebi.
I think it's better to change habits than to ask for new features.
“Move to workspace” is a good way to go, I'll try Zebar as well, I've read the discussion on the komorebi bar and it looks very good!
Please allow me to close the thread, thank you both for your time 🙇♂️
@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024):
I think it's good to keep track of workflow adjustments like this that people can make when using a tiling window manager for the first time - perhaps we can add a page on the docs site for workflows that come up repeatedly 🤔
@CtByte commented on GitHub (Jun 5, 2024):
Since there are so many ways that a tiling window manager can be used, that a small starter guide would surely be greatly appreciated.
Your videos are a great help already to introduce new features. They should be added to those docs for sure, linked as a playlist perhaps.
