i like menus attached to taglist and tasklist for mouse manipulation.
With these menus, and their helper functions, you can do pretty much
anything with tags or client.
-- for the taglist
function menu_taglist(menu, t)
if not menu then
menu = {}
end
num_screens = screen.count()
next_screen = nil
prev_screen = nil
menu.items = {}
menu.items = {
{(t.selected and "Hide") or "Merge", function()
t.selected = not t.selected end},
{"Rename", function() shifty.rename(t) end},
{"Restore", function() tag_restore_defaults(t) end},
{"Delete", function() shifty.del(t) end},
}
if num_screens > 1 then
-- decide to show 'move next' only or also prev screen
next_screen = awful.util.cycle(num_screens, t.screen + 1)
table.insert(menu.items, 2, {"Move to screen " .. next_screen,
function() tag_to_screen(t, next_screen) end})
if num_screens > 2 then
prev_screen = awful.util.cycle(num_screens, t.screen + 1)
table.insert(menu.items, 3, {"Move to screen " .. prev_screen,
function() tag_to_screen(t, prev_screen) end})
end
end
local m = awful.menu.new(menu)
m:show()
return m
end
widgets.taglist = {}
widgets.taglist.buttons = awful.util.table.join(
awful.button({}, 1, awful.tag.viewonly),
awful.button({settings.modkey}, 1, awful.client.movetotag),
awful.button({}, 2, awful.tag.viewtoggle),
awful.button({settings.modkey}, 3, awful.client.toggletag),
awful.button({}, 3, function(t)
if instance then instance:hide(); instance = nil
else instance = menu_taglist({width = 165}, t) end
end),
awful.button({}, 4, awful.tag.viewnext),
awful.button({}, 5, awful.tag.viewprev)
)
-- and for clients
function menu_clients(menu, c)
-- list of other clients
local cls = client.get()
local cls_t = {}
for k, clnt in pairs(cls) do
cls_t[#cls_t + 1] = {ctitle(clnt),
function()
if not clnt:isvisible() then
awful.tag.viewmore(clnt:tags(), clnt.screen)
end
client.focus = clnt
end,
clnt.icon}

awful.client.movetotag(t, c)
awful.tag.viewonly(t)
client.focus = c
c:raise()
end})
tgs_m[s] = {skey .. " ►", tgs_t}
end
if not menu then
menu = {}
end
menu.items = {
{"⬛⬛⬛ " .. ctitle(c) .. " ⬛⬛⬛", function() end},
{"✖ Close", function() c:kill() end},
{(client_is_maximized(c) and "ⴿ Restore") or "ⴽ Maximize",
function()
toggle_maximized(c)

awful.button({}, 1, focus_min_or_restore),

yeah, thats a lot of code for an e-mail body. i'm being lazy.
you can find the whole code (helper functions included) here:
