GitHub Workflow Status (branch) GitHub GitHub all releases GitHub commits since latest release (by date) for a branch Discord GitHub Sponsors screenshot About komorebi is a tiling window manager that works as an extension to Microsoft's Desktop Window Manager in Windows 10 and above. komorebi allows you to control application windows, virtual workspaces and display monitors with a CLI which can be used with third-party software such as AutoHotKey to set user-defined keyboard shortcuts. Translations of this document can be found in the project wiki: * komorebi Zhong Wen Yong Hu Zhi Nan (by @crosstyan) There is a Discord server available for komorebi-related discussion, help, troubleshooting etc. If you have any specific feature requests or bugs to report, please create an issue in this repository. Articles, blog posts, demos, and videos about komorebi can be added to this list by PR: * Moving to Windows from Linux Pt 1 * Windows Xia De Xian Dai Hua Ping Pu Chuang Kou Guan Li Qi komorebi * komorebi woDao Ru shitemiru GitHub Sponsors Early Access GitHub Sponsors is enabled for this project. Users who sponsor my work on komorebi at any of the predefined monthly tiers will be given access to a private fork of this repository where I push features-in-progress that are not yet quite ready to be pushed on the main repository. There will never be any feature of komorebi that is gated behind sponsorship; every new feature will always be available for free in the public repository once it meets the requisite level of code quality and completion. Features-in-progress that are available in early access will be tagged in the issues with an "early access" label. Charitable Donations komorebi, like vim, is a free and open-source project, and one that encourages you to make charitable donations if you find the software to be useful and have the financial means. I encourage you to make a charitable donation to Fresh Start Refugee before you consider sponsoring me on GitHub.

This architecture, popularised by bspwm on Linux and yabai on macOS, is outlined as follows: PROCESS SOCKET ahk --------> komorebic <------> komorebi Design komorebi is the successor to yatta and as such aims to build on the learnings from that project. While yatta was primary an attempt to learn how to work with and call Windows APIs from Rust, while secondarily implementing a minimal viable tiling window manager for my own needs (largely single monitor, single workspace), komorebi has been redesigned from the ground-up to support more complex features that have become standard in tiling window managers on other platforms. komorebi holds a list of physical monitors. A monitor is just a rectangle of the available work area which contains one or more virtual workspaces. A workspace holds a list of containers. A container is just a rectangle where one or more application windows can be displayed. This means that: * Every monitor has its own collection of virtual workspaces * Workspaces only know about containers and their dimensions, not about individual application windows * Every application window must belong to a container, even if that container only contains one application window * Many application windows can be stacked and cycled through in the same container within a workspace Getting Started GitHub Releases Prebuilt binaries are available on the releases page in a zip archive. Once downloaded, you will need to move the komorebi.exe and komorebic.exe binaries to a directory in your Path ( you can see these directories by running $Env:Path.split(";") at a PowerShell prompt). Alternatively, you may add a new directory to your Path using setx or the Environment Variables pop up in System Properties Advanced (which can be launched with SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe at a PowerShell prompt), and then move the binaries to that directory. Winget You can use the builtin package manager from Windows to install the latest komorebi release: winget install LGUG2Z.komorebi Scoop If you use the Scoop command line installer, you can run the following commands to install the binaries from the latest GitHub Release: scoop bucket add extras scoop install komorebi # To download the example configuration iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/master/komorebi.sample.ahk -OutFile $Env:USERPROFILE\komorebi.ahk iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/master/komorebic.lib.ahk -OutFile $Env:USERPROFILE\komorebic.lib.ahk iwr https://raw.githubusercontent.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi/master/komorebi.generated.ahk -OutFile $Env:USERPROFILE\komorebi.generated.ahk If you install komorebi using Scoop, the binaries will automatically be added to your Path. Thanks to @sitiom for getting komorebi added to the popular Scoop Extras bucket. Building from Source If you prefer to compile komorebi from source, you will need a working Rust development environment on Windows 10. The x86_64-pc-windows-msvc toolchain is required, so make sure you have also installed the Build Tools for Visual Studio 2019. You can then clone this repo and compile the source code to install the binaries for komorebi and komorebic: cargo install --path komorebi --locked cargo install --path komorebic --locked Running Once you have either the prebuilt binaries in your Path, or have compiled the binaries from source (these will already be in your Path if you installed Rust with rustup, which you absolutely should), you can run komorebic start --await-configuration at a Powershell prompt, and you will see the following output: Start-Process komorebi -WindowStyle hidden This means that komorebi is now running in the background, tiling all your windows, and listening for commands sent to it by komorebic. You can similarly stop the process by running komorebic stop. Configuring Once komorebi is running, you can execute the komorebi.sample.ahk script to set up the default keybindings via AHK (the file includes comments to help you start building your own configuration). If you have AutoHotKey installed and a komorebi.ahk file in your home directory (run $Env:UserProfile at a PowerShell prompt to find your home directory), komorebi will automatically try to load it when starting. There is also tentative support for loading a AutoHotKey v2 files, if the file is named komorebi.ahk2 and the AutoHotKey64.exe executable for AutoHotKey v2 is in your Path. If both komorebi.ahk and komorebi.ahk2 files exist in your home directory, only komorebi.ahk will be loaded. An example of an AutoHotKey v2 configuration file for komorebi can be found here. Using Different AHK Executables The preferred way to install AutoHotKey for use with komorebi is to install it via scoop: scoop install autohotkey If you install AutoHotKey using a different method, the name of the executable file may differ from the name given by scoop, and thus what is expected by default in komorebi. You may override the executables that komorebi looks for to launch and reload komorebi.ahk configuration files using by setting one of the following two environment variables depending on which version of AutoHotKey you wish to use: * $Env:KOMOREBI_AHK_V1_EXE * $Env:KOMOREBI_AHK_V2_EXE Please keep in mind that even when setting a custom executable name using these environment variables, the executables are still required to be in your Path. Common First-Time Tips Generating Common Application-Specific Configurations A curated selection of application-specific configurations can be generated to help ease the setup for first-time users. komorebi-application-specific-configuration contains YAML definitions of settings that are known to make tricky applications behave as expected. These YAML definitions can be used to generate an AHK file which you can import at the start of your own komorebi.ahk file, leaving you to focus primarily on your desired keybindings and workspace configurations. If you have settings for an application that you think should be part of this curated selection, please open a PR on the configuration repository. In the event that your PR is not accepted, or if you find there are any settings that you wish to override, this can easily be done using an override file. # Clone and enter the repository git clone https://github.com/LGUG2Z/komorebi-application-specific-configuration.git cd komorebi-application-specific-configuration # Use komorebic to generate an AHK file komorebic.exe ahk-app-specific-configuration applications.yaml # Application-specific generated configuration written to C:\Users\LGUG2Z\.config\komorebi\komorebi.generated.ahk # # You can include the generated configuration at the top of your komorebi.ahk config with this line: # # #Include %A_ScriptDir%\komorebi.generated.ahk # Optionally, provide an override file that follows the same schema as the second argument komorebic.exe ahk-app-specific-configuration applications.yaml overrides.yaml Setting a Custom KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME Directory If you do not want to keep komorebi-related files in your $Env:UserProfile directory, you can specify a custom directory by setting the $Env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME environment variable. For example, to use the ~/.config/komorebi directory: # Run this command to make sure that the directory has been created mkdir -p ~/.config/komorebi # Run this command to open up your PowerShell profile configuration in Notepad notepad $PROFILE # Add this line (with your login user!) to the bottom of your PowerShell profile configuration $Env:KOMOREBI_CONFIG_HOME = 'C:\Users\LGUG2Z\.config\komorebi' # Save the changes and then reload the PowerShell profile . $PROFILE If you already have configuration files that you wish to keep, move them to the ~/.config/komorebi directory. The next time you run komorebic start, any files created by or loaded by komorebi will be placed or expected to exist in this folder. Adding an Active Window Border If you would like to add a visual border around the currently focused window, two commands are available: komorebic.exe active-window-border [enable|disable] komorebic.exe active-window-border-colour [R G B] --window-kind single # optionally, if you want a different colour for stacks of windows komorebic.exe active-window-border-colour [R G B] --window-kind stack It is important to note that the active window border will only apply to windows managed by komorebi. Removing Gaps If you would like to remove all gaps from a given workspace, both between windows themselves, and between the monitor edges and the windows, you can set the following two configuration options to 0 for the desired monitors and workspaces: komorebic.exe container-padding 0 komorebic.exe workspace padding 0 Multiple Layout Changes on Startup Depending on what is in your configuration, when komorebi is started, you may experience the layout rapidly being adjusted with many retile events. If you would like to avoid this, you can start komorebi with a flag which tells komorebi to wait until all configuration has been loaded before listening to and responding to window manager events: komorebic start --await-configuration. If you start komorebi with the --await-configuration flag, you must send the komorebic complete-configuration command at the end of the configuration section of your komorebi.ahk config (before you start defining the key bindings). The layout will not be updated and komorebi will not respond to komorebic commands until this command has been received. Floating Windows Sometimes you will want a specific application to never be tiled, and instead float all the time. You add add rules to enforce this behaviour: komorebic.exe float-rule title "Control Panel" # komorebic.exe float-rule exe [EXE NAME] # komorebic.exe float-rule class [CLASS NAME] Windows Not Getting Managed In some rare cases, a window may not automatically be registered to be managed by komorebi. When this happens, you can manually add a rule to force komorebi to manage it: komorebic.exe manage-rule exe TIM.exe # komorebic.exe manage-rule class [CLASS NAME] # komorebic.exe manage-rule title [TITLE] Tray Applications If you are experiencing behaviour where closing a window leaves a blank tile, but minimizing the same window does not , you have probably enabled a 'close/minimize to tray' option for that application. You can tell komorebi to handle this application appropriately by identifying it via the executable name or the window class: komorebic.exe identify-tray-application exe Discord.exe # komorebic.exe identify-tray-application class [CLASS NAME] # komorebic.exe identify-tray-application title [TITLE] Microsoft Office Applications Microsoft Office applications such as Word and Excel require certain configuration options to be set in order to be managed correctly. Below is an example of configuring Microsoft Word to be managed correctly by komorebi. # This only needs to be added once komorebic.exe float-rule class _WwB # Repeat these for other office applications such as EXCEL.EXE etc # Note that the capitalised EXE is important here- double check the # exact case for the name and the file extension in Task Manager or # the AHK Window Spy komorebic.exe identify-layered-application exe WINWORD.EXE komorebic.exe identify-border-overflow-application exe WINWORD.EXE Focus Follows Mouse komorebi supports two focus-follows-mouse implementations; the native Windows Xmouse implementation, which treats the desktop, the task bar, and the system tray as windows and switches focus to them eagerly, and a custom komorebi implementation, which only considers windows managed by komorebi as valid targets to switch focus to when moving the mouse. To enable the komorebi implementation you must start the process with the --ffm flag to explicitly enable the feature. This is because the mouse tracking required for this feature significantly increases the CPU usage of the process (on my machine, it jumps from <1% to [DEL:4 :DEL]), and this CPU increase persists regardless of whether focus-follows-mouse is enabled or disabled at any given time via komorebic's configuration commands. When calling any of the komorebic commands related to focus-follows-mouse functionality, the windows implementation will be chosen as the default implementation. You can optionally specify the komorebi implementation by passing it as an argument to the --implementation flag: komorebic.exe toggle-focus-follows-mouse --implementation komorebi Mouse Follows Focus By default, the mouse will move to the center of the window when the focus is changed in a given direction. This behaviour is know is 'mouse follows focus'. To disable this behaviour across all workspaces, add the following command to your configuration file: Run, komorebic.exe toggle-mouse-follows-focus, , Hide Saving and Loading Resized Layouts If you create a BSP layout through various resize adjustments that you want to be able to restore easily in the future, it is possible to "quicksave" that layout to the system's temporary folder and load it later in the same session, or alternatively, you may save it to a specific file to be loaded again at any point in the future. komorebic.exe quick-save # saves the focused workspace to $Env:TEMP\komorebi.quicksave.json komorebic.exe quick-load # loads $Env:TEMP\komorebi.quicksave.json on the focused workspace komorebic.exe save ~/layouts/primary.json # saves the focused workspace to $Env:USERPROFILE\layouts\primary.json komorebic.exe load ~/layouts/secondary.json # loads $Env:USERPROFILE\layouts\secondary.json on the focused workspace These layouts can be applied to arbitrary collections of windows on any workspace, as they only track the layout dimensions and are not coupled to the applications that were running at the time of saving. When layouts that expect more or less windows than the number currently on the focused workspace are loaded, komorebi will automatically reconcile the difference. Creating and Loading Custom Layouts Particularly for users of ultrawide monitors, traditional tiling layouts may not seem like the most efficient use of screen space. If you feel this is the case with any of the default layouts, you are also welcome to create your own custom layouts and save them as JSON or YAML. If you're not comfortable writing the layouts directly in JSON or YAML, you can use the komorebi Custom Layout Generator to interactively define a custom layout, and then copy the generated JSON content. Custom layouts can be loaded on the current workspace or configured for a specific workspace with the following commands: komorebic.exe load-custom-layout ~/custom.yaml komorebic.exe workspace-custom-layout 0 0 ~/custom.yaml The fundamental building block of a custom komorebi layout is the Column. Columns come in three variants: * Primary: This is where your primary focus will be on the screen most of the time. There must be exactly one Primary Column in any custom layout. Optionally, you can specify the percentage of the screen width that you want the Primary Column to occupy. * Secondary: This is an optional column that can either be full height of split horizontally into a fixed number of maximum rows. There can be any number of Secondary Columns in a custom layout. * Tertiary: This is the final column where any remaining windows will be split horizontally into rows as they get added. If there is only one window on the screen when a custom layout is selected, that window will take up the full work area of the screen. If the number of windows is equal to or less than the total number of columns defined in a custom layout, the windows will be arranged in an equal-width columns. When the number of windows is greater than the number of columns defined in the custom layout, the windows will begin to be arranged according to the constraints set on the Primary and Secondary columns of the layout. Here is an example custom layout that can be used as a starting point for your own: YAML - column: Secondary configuration: !Horizontal 2 # max number of rows - column: Primary configuration: !WidthPercentage 50 # percentage of screen - column: Tertiary configuration: Horizontal Dynamically Changing Layouts Based on Number of Visible Window Containers With komorebi it is possible to define rules to automatically change the layout on a specified workspace when a threshold of window containers is met. # On the first workspace of the first monitor (0 0) # When there are one or more window containers visible on the screen (1) # Use the bsp layout (bsp) komorebic workspace-layout-rule 0 0 1 bsp # On the first workspace of the first monitor (0 0) # When there are five or more window containers visible on the screen (five) # Use the custom layout stored in the home directory (~/custom.yaml) komorebic workspace-custom-layout-rule 0 0 5 ~/custom.yaml However, if you add workspace layout rules, you will not be able to manually change the layout of a workspace until all layout rules for that workspace have been cleared. # If you decide that workspace layout rules are not for you, you can remove them from that same workspace like this komorebic clear-workspace-layout-rules 0 0 Configuration with komorebic As previously mentioned, this project does not handle anything related to keybindings and shortcuts directly. I personally use AutoHotKey to manage my window management shortcuts, and have provided a sample komorebi.ahk AHK script that you can use as a starting point for your own. You can run komorebic.exe to get a full list of the commands that you can use to customise komorebi and create keybindings with. You can run komorebic.exe --help to get a full explanation of the arguments required for each command. AutoHotKey Helper Library for komorebic Additionally, you may run komorebic.exe ahk-library to generate a helper library for AutoHotKey which wraps every komorebic command in a native AHK function. If you include the generated library at the top of your ~/ komorebi.ahk configuration file, you will be able to call any of the functions that it contains. A sample AHK script that shows how this library can be used is available here.

Whenever running the komorebic stop command or sending a Ctrl-C signal to komorebi directly, the komorebi process ensures that all hidden windows are restored before termination. If however, you ever end up with windows that are hidden and cannot be restored, a list of window handles known to komorebi are stored and continuously updated in %LOCALAPPDATA%/komorebi// komorebi.hwnd.json. Restoring Windows Running komorebic restore-windows will read the list of window handles and forcibly restore them, regardless of whether the main komorebi process is running. Panics and Deadlocks If komorebi ever stops responding, it is most likely either due to either a panic or a deadlock. In the case of a panic, this will be reported in the log. In the case of a deadlock, there will not be any errors in the log, but the process and the log will appear frozen. If you believe you have encountered a deadlock, you can compile komorebi with --features deadlock_detection and try reproducing the deadlock again. This will check for deadlocks every 5 seconds in the background, and if a deadlock is found, information about it will appear in the log which can be shared when opening an issue. Window Manager State and Integrations The current state of the window manager can be queried using the komorebic state command, which returns a JSON representation of the State struct, which includes the current state of WindowManager. This may also be polled to build further integrations and widgets on top of (if you ever wanted to build something like Stackline for Windows, you could do it by polling this command). Window Manager Event Subscriptions It is also possible to subscribe to notifications of every WindowManagerEvent and SocketMessage handled by komorebi using Named Pipes. First, your application must create a named pipe. Once the named pipe has been created, run the following command: komorebic.exe subscribe Note that you do not have to include the full path of the named pipe, just the name. If the named pipe exists, komorebi will start pushing JSON data of successfully handled events and messages: {"event":{"type":"AddSubscriber","content":"yasb"},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"FocusWindow","content":"Left"},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"FocusChange","content":["SystemForeground",{"hwnd":131444,"title":"komorebi - README.md","exe":"idea64.exe","class":"SunAwtFrame","rect":{"left":13,"top":60,"right":1520,"bottom":1655}}]},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"MonitorPoll","content":["ObjectCreate",{"hwnd":5572450,"title":"OLEChannelWnd","exe":"explorer.exe","class":"OleMainThreadWndClass","rect":{"left":0,"top":0,"right":0,"bottom":0}}]},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"FocusWindow","content":"Right"},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"FocusChange","content":["SystemForeground",{"hwnd":132968,"title":"Windows PowerShell","exe":"WindowsTerminal.exe","class":"CASCADIA_HOSTING_WINDOW_CLASS","rect":{"left":1539,"top":60,"right":1520,"bottom":821}}]},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"FocusWindow","content":"Down"},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"FocusChange","content":["SystemForeground",{"hwnd":329264,"title":"den -- Mozilla Firefox","exe":"firefox.exe","class":"MozillaWindowClass","rect":{"left":1539,"top":894,"right":1520,"bottom":821}}]},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"FocusWindow","content":"Up"},"state":{}} {"event":{"type":"FocusChange","content":["SystemForeground",{"hwnd":132968,"title":"Windows PowerShell","exe":"WindowsTerminal.exe","class":"CASCADIA_HOSTING_WINDOW_CLASS","rect":{"left":1539,"top":60,"right":1520,"bottom":821}}]},"state":{}} You may then filter on the type key to listen to the events that you are interested in. For a full list of possible notification types, refer to the enum variants of WindowManagerEvent in komorebi and SocketMessage in komorebi-core. An example of how to create a named pipe and a subscription to komorebi's handled events in Python by @denBot can be found here. An example of how to create a named pipe and a subscription to komorebi's handled events in Rust can also be found in the komokana repository. Subscription Event Notification Schema A JSON Schema of the event notifications emitted to subscribers can be generated with the komorebic notification-schema command. The output of this command can be redirected to the clipboard or a file, which can be used with services such as Quicktype to generate type definitions in different programming languages. Communication over TCP A TCP listener can optionally be exposed on a port of your choosing with the --tcp-port=N flag. If this flag is not provided to komorebi or komorebic start, no TCP listener will be created. Once created, your client may send any SocketMessage to komorebi in the same way that komorebic would. This can be used if you would like to create your own alternative to komorebic which incorporates scripting and various middleware layers, and similarly it can be used if you would like to integrate komorebi with a custom input handler. If a client sends an unrecognized message, it will be disconnected and have to reconnect before trying to communicate again. Socket Message Schema A JSON Schema of socket messages used to send instructions to komorebi can be generated with the komorebic socket-schema command.
