Every monitor has workspaces of its own, which KWin's per-output desktops show independently, so a second monitor is mostly the window manager's business: which monitor has the focus, and how a window gets from one to the other. At the edge of a monitor, focus and move now cross to the monitor on that side, where they used to fail with "there is no container in this direction": the focus lands on the container nearest the monitor it came from, and a move swaps with the container at that edge (cross-monitor-move-behaviour insert puts it in among the containers there, no-op keeps it). A window that opens or gets the focus on a monitor that is not the focused one focuses that monitor, which also makes the scrolling test of a strip next to another monitor guard real code. The monitor commands come with it: focusing a monitor by index, in order or under the pointer, a workspace of another monitor, moving and sending the focused window to another monitor, to a workspace of it or to a named workspace (in the window manager these are moves between monitors, so they were left out of the workspace commands), moving and swapping workspaces between monitors, and a display index preference that keeps a monitor at the index the user gives it. eager-focus focuses the first window of an executable on any workspace of any monitor; its window is found in a container or among the floating windows, the two places a window can be until stacks, monocle and maximize exist.

Moving windows
komorebi moves the focused window to another tile of its workspace when it is told to. The window swaps places with the window on that tile, the workspace is tiled again, and the window that moved keeps the focus.
In a direction
komorebic move swaps the focused window with the window whose tile is on one
side of it: left, right, up or down. As with
komorebic focus, the layout decides which tile is on
which side.
komorebic move left
komorebic move down
komorebic move up
komorebic move right
When there is no tile on that side, the window goes to the monitor on that side, if there is one,
and takes the place nearest the monitor it came from. What it does there is
komorebic cross-monitor-move-behaviour: swap, the
default, sends the window it takes the place of back to where it came from; insert puts it in
among the windows there; no-op keeps it where it is.
komorebic toggle-cross-monitor-move-behaviour
switches between insert and swap. With no monitor on that side, nothing moves, and the daemon
logs "there is no container or monitor in this direction".
To another monitor
komorebic move-to-monitor takes the focused window to a monitor, by
its index, and focuses it there; komorebic send-to-monitor does the
same and leaves the focus on the monitor it came from. Their cycle- forms take the next or the
previous monitor. komorebic move-to-monitor-workspace and
komorebic send-to-monitor-workspace name a workspace of
that monitor too, and komorebic move-to-named-workspace and
komorebic send-to-named-workspace find it by its name.
komorebic move-to-monitor 1
komorebic send-to-monitor-workspace 1 2
komorebic move-workspace-to-monitor takes the whole
workspace in front to another monitor, and
komorebic swap-workspaces-with-monitor exchanges the
workspaces of the focused monitor with those of another.
In order
komorebic cycle-move swaps the focused window with the next or the
previous window in the order of the workspace, and wraps around: next from the last window
swaps it with the first.

To the largest tile
The first tile of a layout is the largest one: the left half in BSP and the vertical stack, the top half in the horizontal stack, the middle of the ultrawide vertical stack and the right half in the right main vertical stack. In the columns, rows and scrolling layouts it is the first column or row. The grid layout is left alone: these commands do nothing there.
komorebic promote moves the focused window to the first tile, and the
windows that were before it each move one tile on.
komorebic promote-swap swaps the focused window with the window on
the first tile instead, and from the first tile swaps it back with the window it was last
swapped with. komorebic promote-window promotes the window on one
side of the focused one.

komorebic promote-swap
komorebic promote-window left
komorebic promote-focus gives the focus to the window on the first
tile and moves nothing.
Locking a window in its place
komorebic toggle-lock locks the focused window's container at its
place in the order of the workspace, and unlocks it again. Windows that open, close or move
around a locked container leave it where it is: a new window that would go in its place goes
after it. A window moved onto the place of a locked one with move, cycle-move or
promote-swap is locked there instead, since the lock belongs to the place.
komorebic toggle-lock
The LockMonitorWorkspaceContainer and UnlockMonitorWorkspaceContainer messages lock and
unlock a container by the index of its monitor, its workspace and itself, for a program such as
a status bar. They have no subcommand.
The pointer
The pointer follows the window that moved, unless mouse follows focus is off.
