This has kind of annoyed me too, I guess your post motivated me to try to
figure out something. Here's what I did.
I added a global variable "last_tag" to store the tag where I ran my
command.
awful.key({ modkey }, "r",
function ()
last_tag = awful.tag.selected(1)
mypromptbox[mouse.screen]:run()
end),
Then I added this else clause in the register hook.
if target then
c.screen = target.screen
awful.client.movetotag(tags[target.screen][target.tag], c)
else
awful.client.movetotag(last_tag, c)
end
Keep in mind I'm using awesome 3.3. Also this solution is rather kludgy,
i.e. if you are launching multiple apps then this won't work as expected. I
suppose you could use some data structure like a hash to take care of that,
but that's more work than I want to do at the moment.
