Summary

Using Unreal Engine 5 (seems any version will do this, unsure of unreal engine 4), starting the editor will create a phantom window. I can alt F4 on this window and close it, but it consumes a tile in Komorebi until then. Ultimately this is probably something unreal is doing, but i wonder if Komorebi can just.. ignore it heh

Hotkey Configuration

.shell powershell

Reload whkd configuration

alt + o : taskkill /f /im whkd.exe && start /b whkd # if shell is cmd

alt + o : taskkill /f /im whkd.exe && Start-Process whkd -WindowStyle hidden # if shell is pwsh / powershell
alt + shift + o : komorebic reload-configuration

App shortcuts - these require shell to be pwsh / powershell

The apps will be focused if open, or launched if not open

alt + f : if ($wshell.AppActivate('Firefox') -eq $False) { start firefox }

alt + b : if ($wshell.AppActivate('Chrome') -eq $False) { start chrome }

Focus windows

alt + h : komorebic focus left
alt + j : komorebic focus down
alt + k : komorebic focus up
alt + l : komorebic focus right
alt + shift + oem_4 : komorebic cycle-focus previous # oem_4 is [
alt + shift + oem_6 : komorebic cycle-focus next # oem_6 is ]

Move windows

alt + shift + h : komorebic move left
alt + shift + j : komorebic move down
alt + shift + k : komorebic move up
alt + shift + l : komorebic move right
alt + shift + return : komorebic promote

Stack windows

alt + left : komorebic stack left
alt + down : komorebic stack down
alt + up : komorebic stack up
alt + right : komorebic stack right
alt + oem_1 : komorebic unstack # oem_1 is ;
alt + oem_4 : komorebic cycle-stack previous # oem_4 is [
alt + oem_6 : komorebic cycle-stack next # oem_6 is ]

Resize

alt + oem_plus : komorebic resize-axis horizontal increase
alt + oem_minus : komorebic resize-axis horizontal decrease
alt + shift + oem_plus : komorebic resize-axis vertical increase
alt + shift + oem_minus : komorebic resize-axis vertical decrease

Manipulate windows

alt + t : komorebic toggle-float
alt + shift + f : komorebic toggle-monocle

Window manager options

alt + shift + r : komorebic retile
alt + p : komorebic toggle-pause

Layouts

alt + x : komorebic flip-layout horizontal
alt + y : komorebic flip-layout vertical

Workspaces

alt + 1 : komorebic focus-workspace 0
alt + 2 : komorebic focus-workspace 1
alt + 3 : komorebic focus-workspace 2
alt + 4 : komorebic focus-workspace 3
alt + 5 : komorebic focus-workspace 4

alt + 7 : komorebic focus-workspace 6
alt + 8 : komorebic focus-workspace 7
alt + 9 : komorebic focus-workspace 8
alt + 0 : komorebic focus-workspace 9

Move windows across workspaces

alt + shift + 1 : komorebic move-to-workspace 0
alt + shift + 2 : komorebic move-to-workspace 1
alt + shift + 3 : komorebic move-to-workspace 2
alt + shift + 4 : komorebic move-to-workspace 3
alt + shift + 5 : komorebic move-to-workspace 4
alt + shift + 6 : komorebic move-to-workspace 5
alt + shift + 7 : komorebic move-to-workspace 6
alt + shift + 8 : komorebic move-to-workspace 7
alt + shift + 9 : komorebic move-to-workspace 8
alt + shift + 0 : komorebic move-to-workspace 9

Output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users<user>

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users<user>

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

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

When the ghost tile is there, run "komorebic visible-windows" to get the information you need about it to add a rule ignoring it: https://lgug2z.github.io/komorebi/common-workflows/ignore-windows.html

Also for anyone having the same issues: temporary workaround I've been using for stuff I don't want to bother making special rules for is to switch to the window with alt + hjlk (or whatever) and then minimizing it with alt + m (or whatever).

It would be nice if the heuristics detected invisible windows though.
