There is no generic function currently to get this information. This is mostly
because the tasklist gets a filter function and you can thus influence which
clients are included and which aren't. The order is always the order in which
e.g. client.get() or awful.client.visible() returns the clients.
The default config uses the currenttags filter:
mytasklist[s] = awful.widget.tasklist(s,
awful.widget.tasklist.filter.currenttags, mytasklist.buttons)
So... uhm... to get a table that maps from integer index to client, we could do
the following (untested, s is the target screen):
local entries = {}
for _, c in ipairs(client.get(s)) do
if awful.widget.tasklist.filter.currenttags(c, s) then
table.insert(entries, c)
end
end
If you really, really want to get the index from some client, you could then use
awful.util.table.hasitem(entries, c) (despite the name, it will return the table
key (or nil) and thus will get you the number you want in this case).
Cheers,
Uli
