The daemon takes its settings from a komorebi.json: the file --config names, or the one in the config home ($KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME, else ~/.config/komorebi). Without a file it runs on its defaults, as before. StaticConfig reads the file in three steps, because the monitors are known only after the backend has been asked. preload makes the window manager and applies the settings that are process-wide, postload gives each monitor and workspace the entry of its place (by the index display_index_preferences gives a monitor's serial number id, else in order), and main asks KWin for a desktop for each workspace the file lists. A watcher on the file sends the daemon a ReloadStaticConfiguration about two seconds after it changes, whether an editor wrote the file in place or renamed a new one over it, and a file that does not parse changes nothing. A workspace can change its layout, its work area offset and its layout options with the number of its containers, from the file or with komorebic (workspace-layout-rule, its named form and the two that clear), and layout_defaults gives every workspace of a layout the options it sets none of. One file is meant to serve every platform, so a key that does nothing on Plasma is accepted and ignored. config_parity checks the example and the files of other platforms; the keys of features that are not in yet are listed there, and the test fails when a list names a key that is read. The file also sets what the stacks, the float override, the floating layer and monocle set while the daemon runs: window_container_behaviour, with its rules by container count in a workspace, float_override, float_override_placement, floating_layer_behaviour (for a monitor and a workspace too), floating_layer_placement and monocle_focus_behaviour. Their features come before this commit, but a file to put the keys in does not, so they are part of this one. komorebic gains configuration, generate-static-config and start --config. The NixOS module gets configFile, which the unit gives the daemon as --config.

# Floating windows
|
|
|
|
A floating window is one of a workspace's windows that is not in its layout: komorebi gives it no
|
|
tile and does not move it, and it stays where it is put by hand.
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic toggle-float`](../cli/toggle-float.md) takes the window that has the focus out of the
|
|
layout, and the other windows of the workspace share the work area. The same command on a
|
|
floating window puts it back in the layout, at the place of the focused window.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic toggle-float
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
A floated window keeps its size and position by default. The floating windows of a workspace are
|
|
in the daemon's state as `floating_windows`, next to its containers.
|
|
|
|
## Windows that open floating
|
|
|
|
With the float override on, every window that opens floats instead of getting a tile.
|
|
[`komorebic toggle-float-override`](../cli/toggle-float-override.md) turns it on and off for every
|
|
workspace, and
|
|
[`komorebic toggle-workspace-float-override`](../cli/toggle-workspace-float-override.md) for the
|
|
focused workspace only: the first time it takes the opposite of what every workspace has, and from
|
|
then on it follows its own setting.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic toggle-float-override
|
|
komorebic toggle-workspace-float-override
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The override is in the daemon's state, as `float_override` for every workspace and in each
|
|
workspace that has one of its own.
|
|
|
|
In `komorebi.json` it is `float_override`, for every workspace and in the entry of a workspace.
|
|
`float_override_placement` says what is done to the window the override floats: `None` leaves it
|
|
where KWin put it, `Center` centers it in the work area and `CenterAndResize` also makes it half
|
|
as tall as the work area, with the aspect ratio `floating_window_aspect_ratio` names. A window is
|
|
centered only on a workspace that tiles.
|
|
|
|
## The two layers
|
|
|
|
A workspace is on one of two layers: its tiles, or its floating windows. Which one decides what
|
|
[`komorebic focus`](../cli/focus.md), [`cycle-focus`](../cli/cycle-focus.md),
|
|
[`move`](../cli/move.md) and [`resize-edge`](../cli/resize-edge.md) act on. Floating a window puts
|
|
the workspace on its floating layer, and giving the focus to a tiled window, with the pointer or a
|
|
command, puts it back on its tiling layer. A window that opens and is tiled does the same, and so
|
|
does putting a floating window back in the layout.
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic toggle-workspace-layer`](../cli/toggle-workspace-layer.md) switches the layer by hand.
|
|
The windows of the layer it goes to are raised in front of the others, and one of them is given the
|
|
focus: the focused floating window, or the focused container's window. Going to the tiles hides the
|
|
floating windows, and going back to the floating layer shows them.
|
|
|
|
```sh
|
|
komorebic toggle-workspace-layer
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On the floating layer:
|
|
|
|
- `focus left`, `right`, `up` and `down` give the focus to the nearest floating window on that
|
|
side, by where KWin has them. When no floating window is on that side the focus goes to the
|
|
monitor on that side, as it does for tiles, and the command fails where there is none: the
|
|
daemon logs "there is no container or monitor in this direction".
|
|
- `cycle-focus next` and `previous` go round the floating windows in the order they were floated,
|
|
and wrap around.
|
|
- `move` moves the focused floating window by the [resize delta](resizing-windows.md), 50 pixels
|
|
unless it was set, and not out of the work area.
|
|
- `resize-edge` and `resize-axis` change the frame of the focused floating window: `increase` on
|
|
the left or the upper side moves it that way, and on the right or the lower side makes it wider
|
|
or taller by twice the delta; `decrease` does the opposite.
|
|
- `preselect-direction` does nothing.
|
|
|
|
[`komorebic toggle-maximize`](../cli/toggle-maximize.md) maximizes the focused floating window
|
|
there, and when it is restored it is a tile, not a floating window.
|
|
|
|
The layer is `layer` in the state of each workspace, `Tiling` or `Floating`.
|
|
|
|
What a window that opens while a workspace is on its floating layer gets is
|
|
`floating_layer_behaviour` in `komorebi.json`: `Tile`, the default, gives it a tile, and `Float`
|
|
floats it, centered in the work area as `floating_layer_placement` says (`Center` by default; the
|
|
values are those of `float_override_placement`). The entry of a monitor and the entry of a
|
|
workspace can have a `floating_layer_behaviour` of their own: the workspace's comes before the
|
|
monitor's, which comes before the one for every monitor.
