Every workspace started in BSP and stayed there. `komorebic change-layout` gives the focused workspace one of the layouts of komorebi-layouts, `cycle-layout next|previous` steps through them, and `flip-layout` mirrors the tiles along an axis, on top of the flip there is. A flip mirrors the tiles, not the order of the containers, and the directions of focus and move are flipped with it, so `focus left` still goes to the tile on the left. `toggle-tiling` turns the tiling of the focused workspace off and on: while it is off, no window of the workspace is moved, and the windows that open are taken in and tiled once it is on again. `preselect-direction` reserves the place on one side of the focused window for the next window: an empty container holds it, the layout gives it a tile, and the next window takes it. `cancel-preselect` gives it back. A new VM suite, vm-commands, after the spike's m8 script, runs every layout with five, three, two and one windows against a real KWin with two outputs, and then every komorebic command there is, checking after each that the daemon is alive, answers, and has every window KWin has, and that KWin has the windows where the daemon asked. Every command that comes later adds its line to that sweep.

Layouts
The layout of a workspace turns its work area and the number of its containers into one tile for each container. Every workspace starts with the BSP layout. A command that changes the layout tiles the focused workspace again at once.
The layouts
These are the layouts of komorebi-layouts, in the order cycle-layout next goes through them:
| Layout | komorebic name |
The tiles |
|---|---|---|
| BSP | bsp |
each new tile splits the last one in two, alternately side by side and one above the other |
| Columns | columns |
side by side, as wide as each other |
| Rows | rows |
one above the other, as high as each other |
| Vertical stack | vertical-stack |
the first on the left half, the others stacked on the right |
| Horizontal stack | horizontal-stack |
the first on the top half, the others side by side below it |
| Ultrawide vertical stack | ultrawide-vertical-stack |
the first in the middle, the second on the left, the others stacked on the right |
| Grid | grid |
columns of tiles, as even as the number of containers allows |
| Right main vertical stack | right-main-vertical-stack |
the first on the right half, the others stacked on the left |
| Scrolling | scrolling |
columns side by side |
Changing the layout
komorebic change-layout gives the focused workspace the layout it
names, and komorebic cycle-layout the next or the previous one in
the table above:
komorebic change-layout vertical-stack
komorebic cycle-layout next
komorebic cycle-layout previous
cycle-layout next goes from the scrolling layout back to BSP. Going backwards,
komorebi-layouts leaves the scrolling layout out: cycle-layout previous goes from BSP to the
right main vertical stack.
komorebic query focused-workspace-layout prints the layout of the focused
workspace.
Flipping the layout
komorebic flip-layout mirrors the tiles of the focused workspace:
horizontal swaps left and right, vertical top and bottom, and horizontal-and-vertical
both. A flip is added to the one the workspace has, so the same flip twice puts the layout
back.
komorebic flip-layout horizontal
komorebic flip-layout horizontal
The containers keep their order, and the directions of focus and
move are the ones on the screen: after flip-layout horizontal,
focus left goes to the tile on the left.
Turning tiling off
komorebic toggle-tiling turns the tiling of the focused workspace
off, and on again. While it is off, komorebi moves none of its windows: they stay where they
are, and can be moved by hand. Windows that open on the workspace are still taken into it, and
when tiling is turned back on, every window is tiled again. query focused-workspace-layout
prints None while tiling is off.
Preselecting a tile
komorebic preselect-direction reserves the place on one side
of the focused window for the next window that opens on the workspace. The layout gives the
reserved place a tile at once, empty until the window opens.
komorebic cancel-preselect gives the place up.
komorebic preselect-direction left
komorebic cancel-preselect
The place is a position in the order of the workspace, so where its tile is depends on the
layout. A workspace reserves one place at a time: a second preselect-direction is ignored
until the window opens or the place is given up. The grid layout has no preselection.
