Is it possible to define rules for the windows?

[inaki6martinez]

Hello,

I came from dwm in linux and there you can set some rules that would apply to specific windows. For example, these rules allow sending Chrome windows to a particular workspace.

Is anything similar in komorebi?

These are the relevant CLI commands:

❯ komorebic workspace-rule
Add a rule to associate an application with a workspace

Usage: komorebic.exe workspace-rule <IDENTIFIER> <ID> <MONITOR> <WORKSPACE>

Arguments:
  <IDENTIFIER>  [possible values: exe, class, title]
  <ID>          Identifier as a string
  <MONITOR>     Monitor index (zero-indexed)
  <WORKSPACE>   Workspace index on the specified monitor (zero-indexed)

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help


❯ komorebic named-workspace-rule
Add a rule to associate an application with a named workspace

Usage: komorebic.exe named-workspace-rule <IDENTIFIER> <ID> <WORKSPACE>

Arguments:
  <IDENTIFIER>  [possible values: exe, class, title]
  <ID>          Identifier as a string
  <WORKSPACE>   Name of a workspace

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help

And these are the relevant CLI commands if you just want the window to be placed on a workspace initially but not permanently:

❯ komorebic initial-workspace-rule
Add a rule to associate an application with a workspace on first show

Usage: komorebic.exe initial-workspace-rule <IDENTIFIER> <ID> <MONITOR> <WORKSPACE>

Arguments:
  <IDENTIFIER>  [possible values: exe, class, title]
  <ID>          Identifier as a string
  <MONITOR>     Monitor index (zero-indexed)
  <WORKSPACE>   Workspace index on the specified monitor (zero-indexed)

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help


❯ komorebic initial-named-workspace-rule
Add a rule to associate an application with a named workspace on first show

Usage: komorebic.exe initial-named-workspace-rule <IDENTIFIER> <ID> <WORKSPACE>

Arguments:
  <IDENTIFIER>  [possible values: exe, class, title]
  <ID>          Identifier as a string
  <WORKSPACE>   Name of a workspace

Options:
  -h, --help  Print help

These can be added to the static configuration in the workspace objects with the keys workspace_rules and initial_workspace_rules - you can check out this video on how to enable auto completion for the static configuration file: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODB0XwBNhbc

Thank you so much! That was exactly what I was looking for.

I did this for "firefox.exe" app but for some reason, in windows terminal or wezterm, it does not work.. I wanted to initialize it on initial start-up in specific workspace but I wanted it so that I can still move it to other workspace when I needed it to, but on the said applications, it will always go back to specific workspace that I set it, I'm not sure why. Any idea why that is? @LGUG2Z

I'm still confused what the static configuration syntax is supposed to be for this. I even put in the auto complete and it doesn't help or auto complete either of these. I tried "initial_workspace_rules": [ { "identifier": "exe", "id": "brave.exe", "workspace": "1 1" } ], just guessing what the syntax is supposed to be, but no.
