Looking for configuration files in C:\Users\andre
Found komorebi.json; this file can be passed to the start command with the --config flag
Found C:\Users\andre\.config\whkdrc; key bindings will be loaded from here when whkd is started, and you can start it automatically using the --whkd flagSource: LGUG2Z/komorebi
