`komorebic resize-edge left|right|up|down increase|decrease` moves one edge of the focused tile, and `resize-axis` both edges along an axis, by the delta that `resize-delta` sets (50 pixels to start with; komorebi-layouts moves an edge by half of it). The neighbors give up the room. A resize is an adjustment of the container's tile that the workspace keeps, one per container, and that the layout applies whenever it tiles. Before each tiling, the workspace clears the parts its layout cannot apply, such as the height of a column. No tile may end up narrower or shorter than a tenth of the work area, or than it already is: a resize that would make one so is granted as far as it can go, not dropped. `retile` drops the adjustments, and the `RetileWithResizeDimensions` message tiles with them. `save-resize` and `load-resize` write them to a file and read them back, and `quick-save-resize` and `quick-load-resize` do the same with one file in the daemon's temporary directory. The vm-commands sweep gains every resize command, and the saving and loading.

komorebi for KDE
Overview
komorebi is a tiling window manager for KDE Plasma on Wayland. It decides where each window
goes, and KWin, the window manager of Plasma, moves and draws the windows.
komorebi is a daemon that runs in the background, and it is controlled with a CLI,
komorebic. Every komorebic command that asks something of the daemon is a message on its
socket, so anything that can run a command can drive komorebi: a terminal, a script, or a
program that binds keys, which is how a key is given an action.
komorebi aims to make as few modifications as possible to the operating system and desktop
environment by default. Users are free to make such modifications in their own configuration
files for komorebi, but these will always remain opt-in and off-by-default.
How it fits together
komorebi only responds to the events KWin reports about windows and to the messages it receives on a dedicated socket. komorebic is a CLI that writes messages on komorebi's socket. komorebi doesn't handle any keyboard or mouse inputs: a program that binds keys, such as the custom shortcuts in Plasma's System Settings, runs komorebic commands.

Getting started
Installing komorebi explains how to install the two programs: on NixOS with
the flake's module, which also starts komorebi with every Plasma session, and from source
anywhere else. Running komorebi explains how to start and stop the
daemon, ask it what it is doing and read its log.
Focusing windows explains how to give the focus to another window,
Moving windows how to move the focused window to another tile,
Layouts how to change the arrangement of the tiles, and
Resizing windows how to change the size of one.
Subscribing to notifications explains how a program
such as a status bar follows what komorebi does. The CLI reference has a page
for every komorebic command, generated from its help.
Community
There is a Discord server available for
komorebi-related discussion, help, troubleshooting etc.
There is a YouTube
channel where I post
komorebi development videos, feature previews and release overviews. Subscribing
to the channel (which is monetized as part of the YouTube Partner Program) and
watching videos is a really simple and passive way to contribute financially to
the development and maintenance of komorebi.
There is an Awesome List which
showcases the many awesome projects that exist in the komorebi ecosystem.
Licensing for Personal Use
komorebi is licensed under the Komorebi 2.0.0 license, which is a fork

I encourage you to make a charitable donation to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund or to contribute to a Gaza Funds campaign before you consider sponsoring me on GitHub.
GitHub Sponsors is enabled for this project. Sponsors can claim custom roles on the Discord server, get shout-outs at the end of komorebi-related videos on YouTube, and gain the ability to submit feature requests on the issue tracker.
If you would like to tip or sponsor the project but are unable to use GitHub
Sponsors, you may also sponsor through Ko-fi, or
make an anonymous Bitcoin donation to bc1qv73wzspc77k46uty4vp85x8sdp24mphvm58f6q.
Licensing for Commercial Use
A dedicated Individual Commercial Use License is available for those who want to
use komorebi at work.
The Individual Commercial Use License adds “Commercial Use” as a “Permitted Use” for the licensed individual only, for the duration of a valid paid license subscription only. All provisions and restrictions enumerated in the Komorebi License continue to apply.
