Summary

Problem: When komorebi starts, it resizes and moves one of my floating app, it should not

  1. What I want is for my app to be desktop bound and fixed at the location I moved it to (it remembers its last location)
  2. I checked up the difference between floating and ignored windows
  3. Thinking through, floating should allow only min/max, restore and desktop bound (no resizing by komorebi)

Side notes

  1. If that is the case, better names of the JSON keys could be xxx_rules and xxx_and_yyy_rules
  2. xxx = untiled, and yyy = always_show
  3. Even this is not perfect, what if a user wanted a window that is not desktop bound (ignored) but still want to min/max it?

Output of komorebic check

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

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\user

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

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