Probably more of a question/feature request than bug but is it possible to focus/change a workspace on a monitor that the cursor does not currently reside?

komorebi.ahk.

Run, komorebic.exe focus-follows-mouse disable, , Hide
Run, komorebic.exe mouse-follows-focus disable, , Hide

Run, komorebic.exe ensure-workspaces 0 2, , Hide
Run, komorebic.exe ensure-workspaces 1 2, , Hide

Run, komorebic.exe workspace-name 0 0 ws1, , Hide
Run, komorebic.exe workspace-name 0 1 ws2, , Hide
Run, komorebic.exe workspace-name 1 0 ws1, , Hide
Run, komorebic.exe workspace-name 1 1 ws2, , Hide

My first thought was that this would do the trick

komorebic.exe focus-monitor 1
komorebic.exe focus-workspace 1

But this will only change the workspace on monitor 0 or more specifically where the cursor resides.

By setting focus-follows-mouse and mouse-follows-focus to disable I assumed that would allow for this functionality but it seems I could be wrong.
Possibly related to #30 / 2a4e6fa6dac8dc91c18b6939ccdf5408af4a4142?

@LGUG2Z commented on GitHub (Dec 3, 2021):

I have just tested this out and for the behaviour I think that you are looking for, it works if mouse-follows-focus is enabled, but it only works if there is something visible on the monitor that you are trying to change the focused workspace on, so, your example wouldn't work if the current workspace on monitor 1 had no windows, because the focus-monitor command would not move the cursor to monitor 1 and so the focus-workspace command would run on the previously focused monitor.

I will look into creating a dedicated focus command that allows users to pass both the monitor index and the workspace index of that monitor, bypassing the cursor position constraint in the individual workspace focus command.

Running focus-monitor-workspace seems to work great so far and I haven't run into any unwanted results or errors as of yet.

Thanks the quick response and solution. Finding a window manager that suits all of my needs on Windows has been a nearly impossible task so stumbling across this has been a nice surprise. Especially with the possibility of two features I use heavily with my own AHK scripts being looked into. (57 and 34) 42 is also pretty great.

I appreciate the project, thanks!
