Summary

I'm not sure whether this is a nitpick or a proper bug but when switching the tabs in the stack bar I often find that the whole bar flickers and it is a bit slow. This could be because of my laptop itself.

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\mmsye

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

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

This isn't something I'll personally spend any time improving, but I'm sure there is some room to improve the stackbar redraw strategy to minimize any visual artifacts like this further.
