Summary

I have noticed that sometimes a window is suddenly on a workspace where I did not expect it, and I think I have found the reason. If a program is minimized, and then de-minimized - either by clicking on it in the taskbar, or by alt-tabbing to it - it moves to the current workspace.

If the program is not minimized, these two actions focus the workspace that its window is on.

Is this by design? I'd prefer the latter behaviour also when the program is minimized. Is that possible?

Version Information

0.1.30

Output of komorebic check

❯ komorebic check
No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\me

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\me

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

No ~/.config/whkdrc found; you may not be able to control komorebi with your keyboard

Yeah super annoying, I can't rely on anything being in the correct place at the moment. This wasn't always the case, I'm sure.

Minimized windows are removed from the state- this is by design. If you want windows to be on specific workspaces when they are launched, minimized/restored, killed/restarted, this is what workspace rules are for
