Summary

I have enabled the windows setting Accessibility -mouse- activate on hover and komorebi seems to be disabling it after a boot.
I have disabled komorebi on boot, Windows boots and keeps the Activate on Hover setting enabled.
With komorebi auto-launching on boot, Or when i then run komorebi from Terminal the accessibility setting gets turned off and interestingly the "amount of time mouse needs to be over a window to activate it" slider gets reset, which it doesnt do when you disable and reenable the "activate on hover" setting manually. It seems theres a big bug resetting some of windows accessibility settings somehow

Hotkey Configuration

i dont know what this is so i assume its just the default as i havent touched it

Output of komorebic check

No KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME detected, defaulting to C:\Users\itsle

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\itsle

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

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

You'll have to compile your own version of komorebi which removes this cleanup hook:

Someone can add a config option to conditionally disable this if they want an easy PR to contribute
