Re: Mod-u and Mod-i when monitors switch position
Just to update, tried focus_relative but pressing it would ALWAYS
change monitor (not the behaviour I'm looking for as I sometimes lose
track of where I currently am).
Instead I used focus_bydirection and does exactly what I want. Thank you!

Thanks! I'll try that out when I get back.

RE: Mod-u and Mod-i when monitors switch position
Hi,
Not sure about how your key combinations are configured, but these are what I
have in my awesome config...
awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "j", function ()
awful.screen.focus_relative( 1)
end),
awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "k", function ()
awful.screen.focus_relative(-1)
end),
awful.key({ modkey, }, "u",
awful.client.urgent.jumpto
),
From that and "https://awesomewm.org/doc/api/modules/awful.screen.html"; you
might want to try...
awful.screen.focus_bydirection (dir, _screen)
"Give the focus to a screen, and move pointer, by physical position
relative to current screen."
Regards
Dave

Subject: Mod-u and Mod-i when monitors switch position
Right now Mod-u and Mod-i go to the 1st/2nd monitor respectively. My 1st
monitor is my primary laptop LCD, while my 2nd monitor is a VGA-connected one.
In my home, the 2nd monitor is on the right, but in my office its made more
sense to move it to the left. Trivial to setup xrandr for that, but now my
muscle memory keeps pressing Mod-u when I want to go the the external monitor
(because I remember it as 'go to left monitor').
How can I make Mod-u represent "go to the screen which is on the left"
rather than "go to the first (primary) screen"?
