Moving windows in awesome

Question

As far as I understand the only way to move a window to next screen is mod4+o, but it doesn't seem to work.
I've checked rc.lua and there's:
clientkeys = awful.util.table.join(
awful.key({ modkey, }, "f", function (c) c.fullscreen = not c.fullscreen end),
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "c", function (c) c:kill() end),
awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "space", awful.client.floating.toggle ),
awful.key({ modkey, "Control" }, "Return", function (c) c:swap(awful.client.getmaster()) end),
awful.key({ modkey, }, "o", awful.client.movetoscreen ),
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "r", function (c) c:redraw() end),
awful.key({ modkey }, "t", awful.client.togglemarked),
awful.key({ modkey,}, "m",
function (c)
c.maximized_horizontal = not c.maximized_horizontal
c.maximized_vertical = not c.maximized_vertical
end)
Should be fine, right?
So how do I move windows to other screens? Are there any other tricks?

Answer 1

There is a little different:
- awful.client.movetoscreen  → move the window to the next screen (if you have e.g. 2 or more displays/monitors)
- to move a window to a specific tag (virtual desktop) use: modkey + shift + {tagnumber}
