A tiling window manager for Windows 10 based on binary space partitioning

﷽

Hi there 👋

I am the developer and maintainer of komorebi, the most starred, actively developed tiling window manager for Windows on GitHub.

If komorebi is an integral part of your professional or personal workflow, please consider sponsoring me - even if it's just $1/month.

You can also tip on Ko-fi, and make anonymous Lightning ([email protected]) and Bitcoin (bc1q68zxj9wc0gqx92lmhjjm3xrh7wqwk2rx8rcls3) donations.

If you're not in a position to sponsor or donate, the next best thing you can do to support the project is subscribe to my YouTube channel to help me reach the 1000 subscribers required to be part of the YouTube Partner Program and start receiving ad revenue.

🔧 I run Notado, Kullish and xeetshot.

👩‍💻 I post live development videos and tutorials on YouTube.

❄️ I maintain NixOS starter templates for WSL, Cloud VMs, Bare Metal servers and multi-machine configurations.

🔭 I curate RSS feeds of high-quality highlights and commentary from across the internet:

yatta's Issues

Feature request: Workspaces

I currently switch to arch + bspwm and happy with the way bspwm manages workspace. With windows desktop, there always lag/unstable and slow animation when switching desktop.
Is there any plan for yatta to support a virtual workspace?

Building Error

Is it possible to compile this on WSL? I'm using ubuntu 18.04 and followed the rust setup instructions for WSL.
After setting up it gives me this toolchain: stable-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu.

I'm getting an error when trying to run cargo install --path yatta, here is the verbose message:

I have never touched rust before, so I'm not sure if I'm missing a different toolchain or something.

Rules to automatically assign applications to specific desktops

Rules should be set via yattac to automatically send applications to any given desktop. To do this I'll probably need to:

• Look up the process name for a window
• Add SocketMessages to add/remove rules
• Expose commands to operate on the new SocketMessages via yattac

Feature request: Tabbing

Feature: Window tabs

How it's supposed to behave: Window tabs allows stacks of windows, similar to how a browser tab works, the active tab(window) is the topmost and visible one.
That would allow for awesome workflow and less cramped windows.

Here's stackline from yabai, as reference.

Add a license

Because this project has no license, forking and modifying it or using the source code even for just a pull request is illegal. I already made a pull request before noticing this which technically violates your copyright, so if you want me to I can delete my fork and pull request.

Swap windows with mouse

Since the mouse resize WinEvent is shared with mouse moving, I may as well implement a handler for moves where the window that a dragged window is placed over is treated as a swap target.

Update windows-rs to 0.9.x

Resizing windows with yattac

Oh and also, is there supposed to be a way to resize windows? Or at least make it so manually resizing windows makes yatta aware of the new size? (Feel free to tell me to open another issue because i guess I'm getting off-topic 😁 )

Resizing windows with a mouse

Will try to do that later this week! Would it be possible to make it so mouse-resizing updates the tree as well? (Just curious if that's even possible)

Feature request: Multi-monitor support

What the title says 😅

If it's already there, I couldn't find any command to handle that. Very promising project already, as a fan of yabai on macOS I'm very happy to see a (good) equivalent shaping up on Windows 🙇‍♂️ 🙏

Tree operations

It seems to work great as far as I can tell! I'm getting very close to a 1:1 feature match with yabai now! I'm just missing a "warp" command (basically move but creates a new tile in the destination afaict) now, but maybe im missing something in the existing commands

Margins are limited

I would like to have my margins in yatta like 5 or 10 pixels, but low limit of margins is too high. Will it be improved?

Steam, when closed, still takes up space in the layout

When you open Steam, and close the window, it still takes up space in the layout and becomes a "phantom window" that only disappears if you close the entire Steam process from tray (which also stops all Steam games and is thus undesirable).
