First of all, thank you for your reply.

For my questions, in the second one I was basically asking how to show a window in one of the tags of one screen, and in one of the tags of the other. Like, I want it on the 1st tag on my main screen, and on the 3rd tag on my secondary one; wondered if it were possible. For my last question: this means that, if I wanted to change tags on the unfocused screen, I'd have 2 choices: to use a new modifier key for every screen, due to the fact that the 2 keys shortcut is not possible, or to launch a dedicated application which grabs a
combination of keys and then does what I need?

Finally, I'd like you to specify how should I address you, and if that noun/pronoun/whatever complies with
the English semantics, I shall use it.

Hi Vandr0iy,

First of all, before I try to answer you, PLEASE, don't start your mail with : "Hi guys". I'm quite sure that there is some women which use Awesome and that can help you, so use a more neutral way. Thanks.

For your questions everything you ask seems possible.
I don't know if you use shifty to manage your tags, but it has some functions to move them between screens, so this doesn't seems difficult. For the second one, I don't really understand what you want. Let me know if I'm wrong but you would like that if you send the tag 1 from screen 1 to screen 2 it automatically becomes tag 3 on this new screen? I think that it's not handle by Awesome or shifty, but you can (quite) easily handle this in your callback for tag's screen switching. For the last one, you can't have a 2 keys shortcut in Awesome. I think you have to use a key binding to launch the key grabber, and then press keys for screen and tag selection. I never used key grabber so I can't help you more for the moment.

I hope it helps you! I don't have the Awesome API documentation with me, so I can't be more precise. Ask me if you need more details, I'll try to guide you in the right direction.

Kind regards,
Alexis.

    Hi guys!

    I got a two-screen setup, and I made them work using xrandr (sometimes
    arandr, but since it is just a GUI, I
         do not think it really matters).

    Is there an optimal way to manage them? In particular, I look for:
    1. a shortcut to throw a tag from one screen to another (the whole
    tag,
    not just a client)
    2. a way toassign to a client one tag from one screen, and one from
    another (say, client C has tag 1 from
         screen 1 and tag 3 from screen 2)
    3. a way to change tags on the screen 1 while focusing screen 0,
    and/or
    vice versa; would be also nice to have
         a way to do it with even more than one screen (like, pressing
    mod4
    + F1 + 3 shows the 3 tag from 1 screen)

    Thank you very much in advance for your help
