Steps

Open a bunch of windows.
Unmanage one of them
While the unmanaged window is in focus, try hotkeys for moving windows around.

Expected:

Nothing to happen. The focused window isn't unmanaged. Operation should be a no-op.

Actual:

Other non-focused windows move around instead.

For me this is actually the desired behaviour. 😅

Happy to add a configuration option in the coming days for this that treats focus and move operations as no-ops when the active window is an unmanaged window.

You can now add komorebic unmanaged-window-operation-behaviour no-op to your configuration file to achieve the expected behaviour you described.
