Hi, I wanted to write a function for awesome, so that I'm able to shove a selected client to the previous or next tag with a certain keybind. I can, even by default, already do this by sending a client to a certain tag, but I want do add the functionality for doing this for the "next tag", no matter what tag is active. My problem is, I want the tag after the last tag to be the first tag, like a circle of all tags, but I think I need the total number of tags on my screen to do so. I could do that hardcoded, but to avoid inconsistency I would prefer to get the number of tags after they've been created, so I don't have to change an extra variable when changing the number of tags. But I wasn't able to find a function which gives me the number of tags on a screen (or I just misunderstood the documentation).
I thougt about getting the actual tag number and then putting the client to the tag (number%totaltagnumber + 1) or (number%totaltagnumber - 1), depending on what direction is selected. If this idea means a whole amount of unnecessary, maybe inefficient code, I'm glad if you would tell me, I'm new to awesome (but already fascinated) and not very experienced.
