Describe the bug
In the middle of using komorebi, sometimes the keymaps don't work.
komorebi.exe and whkd.exe process is still running.
komorebi works fine. because terminal command works when the problem invoked.
But I think whkd missed some connection with komorebi.

It can be restore after I kill the whkd process and restart with komorebi start --whkd while komorebi is running.
But the problem is issued again.

I don't know what makes this situation exactly
All behaviors what I did are moving between stacks and capturing some picture and moving between workspace.
I think the problem occurs more fast When I move between stacks a lot.

Although the problem occurs, komorebi check said that komorebi found the whkdrc.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

move between stacked window
move between workspaces
capture some screenshots

Expected behavior
whkd doesn't loss connection with komorebi

Screenshots and Videos

Operating System

OS Name:                 Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise
OS Version:               10.0.19044 N/A build 19044

komorebic check Output
Provide the output of komorebic check

For example:

KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected: C:\Users\USER\.config\Dotfiles\komorebi

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\USER\.config\Dotfiles\komorebi

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\USER\.config\Dotfiles\komorebi\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

It seems to be not solved yet although I use the nightly version which is comitted at 7f0b54c

The similar issues occurs like #1132, and @LGUG2Z said it was solved. but This didn't work for me.

I raised this issue in whkd#49 because I thought it is whkd issue, but It seems not. This issue is happened also when I use .ahk.
I think progress is being made to resolve it.

Similar issue for me where workspace related keybinds won't work after a while. Other keybinds (like for opening terminal) still work though. Edit: Restarting whkd doesn't fix it, requires komorebi itself to be restarted.

@adamparzi

At now, the nightly version seems not occur the issue in my old PC although I try swap window iteratively.
But I cannot be sure about komorebic fixed it.
