Output of komorebic check

Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\mmsye

Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag

Found C:\Users\mmsye.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flag

[arijit-gogoi]

I am having this bug too.

Another workaround is just touch C:\Users\name\.config\komorebi\komorebi.bar.json.

[CtByte]

I do not know if it's related, but when you execute the stop command you do not stop the bar and when you execute the start command, you start a new bar, end up having 2 bars running at the same time.

[xidsyed]

komorebic stop --bar
you need to add a bar argument to stop the bar.
