Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Some applications work quite poorly when maximized. Using them maximized means you have to move the mouse around from left to right in a more exaggerated manner than is desirable. When using the tiling manager this becomes the default behavior whenever only one application is opened.

Describe the solution you'd like
A setting which allows you to specify a boarder padding around the window whenever "one" window is open.
Perhaps a second setting where "one" can be set to any integer (1 for widescreen and 2 for ultrawidescreen are most likely to be used)

Describe alternatives you've considered
The workaround currently is you have to always be opening up a second window so that the tiling manager makes the things more usable

Thanks for replying. It appears I did not discover this because it is not in the default json file that gets pulled down after a new install. Perhaps including some default values there would make it much faster to adjust these values?

Referencing https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/discussions/952 as it seems to be a better starting point than the video.
