> Having tiling options that fit within a smaller part of the screen (e.g. still allow side by side or top/bottom split, but in a smaller total region) would be great.

Do you mean reserving screen space for the on-screen keyboard? If that's the case, you can try to "transform" the top-level frame (a frame that tracks a monitor's screen area), either in the REPL or in your config: https://agent-kilo.github.io/jwno/cookbook/adjust-top-level-...

Can you please file a bug report and attach relevant logs? You can write logs to a file by starting Jwno like this:

jwno.exe --log-file C:\jwno.log --log-level debug --no-console your-config.janet

There should be some interesting logs when you press one of the UI hint shortcuts.

> Fwiw, as a newbie I found it a bit intimidating/off-putting that it doesn't work out the box without choosing a config file. That's quite a lot of extra cognitive effort and link-clicking before you can try it out.

I totally understand. But I chose to not include a default config in the executable, because I thought a window manager is a... personal thing. It should evolve with your habits and workflows, so the default config will most likely get changed to something dramatically different anyway. I can be wrong though.

Yes! transforming the top level frame sounds like the way to go.

I ran jwno with example-config and pressed RAlt and RAlt+K a few times, each time trying one of the onscreen shortcut keys (b, c, d, etc). Log at the bottom of this comment. At the end of the process I was left in a state where pressing Space triggered a context menu in my title bar, and I couldn't type space in the app (e.g. in Notepad or Terminal) which I think is due to one of the Alts ending up being held down? It persisted after leaving Jwno

It seems your right alt key is actually the AltGr key. I didn't explicitly support AltGr in Jwno, so it freaked out.

Sorry for the confusion. I think switching to another leader key, such as LAlt or RCtrl, should fix the issue.

Thanks! I created a tracking issue here: https://github.com/agent-kilo/jwno/issues/12

Meanwhile you can try to change leading `RAlt` to something else, like `Win + H`, and see if it works. There may be a bug that gets triggered when only modifier keys are mapped.
