Summary

[BUG]: Alt+tabbing on fullscreen/f11 windows while they are on different workspaces brings the fullscreen window on the tiled windows workspace.

Reproduce-

  • Open any browser/application
  • Full screen it using any native fullscreen method(eg: yt fullscreen) or just f11 (lets say its chrome)
  • Alt + Tab and switch to a window thats on different workspace (lets say its notepad)
  • Alt + Tab and go to full screen window again
  • Alt + Tab and switch to that app again (notepad)
  • you can see that fullscreen window is behind the current app (notepad)
  • now alt + tab and go to chrome again.
  • unfullscreen it
  • you can see its on the workspace of notepad, not in its original workspace. (you can move it around like a floating window) (Video Here)
  • press alt + 1 (or the workspace number of chrome)
  • now its tiled properly again

Originally created by @beingshafin on GitHub (Oct 6, 2025). ### Summary [BUG]: Alt+tabbing on fullscreen/f11 windows while they are on different workspaces brings the fullscreen window on the tiled windows workspace. Reproduce- - Open any browser/application - Full screen it using any native fullscreen method(eg: yt fullscreen) or just f11 (lets say its chrome) - Alt + Tab and switch to a window thats on different workspace (lets say its notepad) - Alt + Tab and go to full screen window again - Alt + Tab and switch to that app again (notepad) - you can see that fullscreen window is behind the current app (notepad) - now alt + tab and go to chrome again. - unfullscreen it - you can see its on the workspace of notepad, not in its original workspace. (you can move it around like a floating window) [(Video Here)](https://streamable.com/naoiee) - press alt + 1 (or the workspace number of chrome) - now its tiled properly again ### Version Information ``` komorebic 0.1.38 tag:v0.1.38 commit_hash:ffa76ea2 build_time:2025-09-13 18:40:25 +00:00 build_env:rustc 1.89.0 (29483883e 2025-08-04),stable-x86_64-pc-windows-msvc ``` ### Komorebi Configuration ```json { "$schema": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/v0.1.38/schema.json", "app_specific_configuration_path": "$Env:USERPROFILE/applications.json", "window_hiding_behaviour": "Cloak", "window_handling_behaviour": "Sync", "cross_monitor_move_behaviour": "Insert", "window_container_behaviour": "Create", "float_override": false, "default_workspace_padding": 0, "default_container_padding": 4, "global_work_area_offset": { "top": 3, "left": 3, "bottom": 6, "right": 6 }, "border": true, "border_implementation": "Windows", "border_style": "System", "border_width": 0, "border_offset": -1, "border_colours": { "single": "#859bc8", "stack": "#9d7cbd", "floating": "#f38baf", "monocle": "#f38ba8", "unfocused": "#303030", "unfocused_locked": "#303030" }, "mouse_follows_focus": false, "focus_follows_mouse": "Komorebi", "transparency": false, "transparency_alpha": 200, "transparency_ignore_rules": [ { "kind": "Title", "id": "YouTube", "matching_strategy": "Contains" } ], "animation": { "enabled": false, "duration": 400, "fps": 100, "style": { "movement": "EaseOutBack", "transparency": "EaseInSine" } }, "stackbar": { "height": 28, "mode": "OnStack", "label": "Process", "tabs": { "width": 150, "font_family": "JetBrainsMono NFP", "font_size": 14, "background": "#1a1e23", "focused_text": "#ffffff", "unfocused_text": "#8b8b8b" } }, "unmanaged_window_operation_behaviour": "Op", "remove_titlebar_applications": [ { "kind": "Exe", "id": "xxxchrome.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" } ], "floating_applications": [ { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Microsoft.Photos.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "ApplicationFrameHost.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Valorant.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Cold Turkey Blocker.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Title", "id": "Install Theme", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Title", "id": "Extensions", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Title", "id": "Add New Task", "matching_strategy": "Equals" } ], "ignore_rules": [ { "kind": "Exe", "id": "xxxTickTick.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "ChatGPT.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "SteelSeriesGGClient.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "GoogleDriveFS.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "FastKeys.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Notepad.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" } ], "monitors": [ { "workspaces": [ { "name": "N", "layout": "BSP", "window_container_behaviour": "Append", "initial_workspace_rules": [ { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Obsidian.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "TickTick.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" } ] }, { "name": "1", "layout": "BSP" }, { "name": "2", "layout": "BSP" }, { "name": "3", "layout": "Scrolling" }, { "name": "4", "layout": "BSP", "float_override": true }, { "name": "G", "layout": "BSP", "workspace_rules": [ { "kind": "Exe", "id": "AimLab_tb.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Valorant.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Riot Client.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "VALORANT-Win64-Shipping.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" } ] }, { "name": "C", "layout": "BSP", "window_container_behaviour": "Append", "initial_workspace_rules": [ { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Beeper.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Youtube Music.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Telegram.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Title", "id": "WhatsApp", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Title", "id": "Instagram", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Title", "id": "YouTube Music", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Exe", "id": "Discord.exe", "matching_strategy": "Equals" }, { "kind": "Title", "id": "Spotify", "matching_strategy": "Equals" } ] } ] } ] } ``` ### 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;

Probably not something I'll work on, if anyone is interested in working on this feel free to submit a PR

Actually, this is ultimately similar to #1577 - komorebi only supports fullscreened windows toggled via the komorebic toggle-maximize command because Windows does not emit events for fullscreened windows; there is nothing to be done here

There is nothing to be done here on workspace switches because Windows does not emit an event when apps are fullscreened - the only way for komorebi to track full screen apps in the state is by running komorebic toggle-maximize - anything else will result in undefined behavior on actions like workspace switching

We could try to solve this without relying on windows fullscreen events.(As glazewm does this quite well) Here are some suggestions,

  • if the fullscreen window is on the same workspace as other windows and you switch to one of the window with alt+tab it tiles it temporarily,
    but if you alt+tab again on the fullscreen window, it is full-screened like it should be.

  • we can try to mimic this behaviour for workspace change as well, if i had to guess changing workspace trigger something in komorebi which is causing this issue. Maybe tricking the system to think it all are in same workspace but hiding other windows with a different method? Obviously you know better than me, just trying to give you some ideas if it helps

  • for workspace focus keybindings we can try to do something similar like that, instead of focusing on workspaces. Remember the focused window for each workspace and switch to that window instead with a method similar to alt+tab.. that might also fix the issue of #1577
