Rules for particular applications can be kept in files of their own, applications.json, which komorebi.json names with app_specific_configuration_path: one path or a list. The ignore, manage and floating rules of every application in a file are added to the lists the configuration's own rules go in, so a file can be shared or kept apart from the settings. A path with no file behind it is skipped with a warning, since one komorebi.json is meant to work on every platform and may name a file that only another platform has; a file that is there and is not an applications.json is an error. The titleless and tabbed rules of other platforms are read and do nothing. komorebic/applications.json is a start for Plasma: it floats the calculators, the screenshot tool, the authentication dialog and System Settings. A test opens the windows it names.

Example configurations
komorebi, and tiling window managers in general, are very complex pieces of software. To make
starting out easier, the repository has an example configuration,
docs/komorebi.example.json, which is kept working: a test loads it with
every change.
komorebi.json
The example sets some defaults and gives the first monitor eight workspaces, each with a different layout. This page has the file as it is:
{
"app_specific_configuration_path": "$HOME/.config/komorebi/applications.json",
"cross_monitor_move_behaviour": "Insert",
"default_workspace_padding": 15,
"default_container_padding": 15,
"floating_window_aspect_ratio": "Widescreen",
"floating_layer_behaviour": "Float",
"resize_delta": 100,
"ignore_rules": [],
"floating_applications": [],
"manage_rules": [],
"monitors": [
{
"workspaces": [
{
"name": "I",
"layout": "BSP"
},
{
"name": "II",
"layout": "VerticalStack"
},
{
"name": "III",
"layout": "HorizontalStack"
},
{
"name": "IV",
"layout": "UltrawideVerticalStack"
},
{
"name": "V",
"layout": "Rows"
},
{
"name": "VI",
"layout": "Grid"
},
{
"name": "VII",
"layout": "RightMainVerticalStack"
},
{
"name": "VIII",
"layout": "Scrolling"
}
]
}
]
}
Put it where the daemon looks for it, ~/.config/komorebi/komorebi.json, or give it to the daemon
with komorebic start --config. Configuration explains every key and
where the daemon looks. The settings of a monitor with more than one entry in monitors, and of
each workspace, are there too.
Application specific configuration
app_specific_configuration_path names a file of rules for the applications that need them, which
the repository has a start of in
komorebic/applications.json. Put a copy where the example
says, ~/.config/komorebi/applications.json; a path with no file behind it is skipped.
Application specific configuration explains the
format.
Padding
While you can set the workspace padding (the space between the outer edges of the windows and
the edge of the monitor) and the container padding (the space between each of the tiled windows)
for each workspace on its own, you can also set a default for both of these values that applies
to all workspaces, using default_workspace_padding and default_container_padding.
The floating layer
floating_layer_behaviour is Float in the example: a window that opens while a workspace is on
its floating layer floats, centered, where the default is to tile it. A window that opens while the
workspace is on its tiling layer is tiled either way.

Grid
If you like the grid layout in LeftWM this is almost exactly the same!
The grid layout does not support resizing windows tiles.
