Output of komorebic check

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

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\aryan

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

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

You can search the previous issues - tl;dr I don't participate in this extortion racket. If you have doubts you can audit the source code and build the project yourself.
