But today I bought a second monitor and experienced a strange behaviour when moving windows to a workspace on the other monitor. I enabled "workspace auto back and forth" and changed the bindsyms to something like "bindsym ..... move workspace x; workspace x". Now when I move my window to another monitor, the focus stays on the current one because "move workspace x" changes focus automatically for different monitors. Is there a possibility to let "move workspace x" behave with different monitors like with a single one? The version of i3 I'm using currently: i3 version 4.2 (2012-04-25, branch "release-4.2") © 2009-2012 Michael Stapelberg and contributors I would appreciate if someone could help me.

Actually I think it's kind of a feature that I didn't understand.Mon, 17 Sep 2012 16:10:52 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/511/workspace-moving-behaviour-across-multiple-screens/?comment=514#comment-514https://faq.i3wm.org/question/511/workspace-moving-behaviour-across-multiple-screens/?comment=513#comment-513Thank you for your response. As you requested I copied my entire config to pastebin: http://pastebin.com/TWFXD84T Workspace 1 is the left monitor, Workspace 2 the right one. If I press Super+Shift+2 to move a window to workspace 2 and directly change focus, only the window will be moved.Mon, 17 Sep 2012 16:06:31 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/511/workspace-moving-behaviour-across-multiple-screens/?comment=513#comment-513https://faq.i3wm.org/question/511/workspace-moving-behaviour-across-multiple-screens/?comment=512#comment-512Can you please share your entire config at a nopaste service like http://pastebin.com/ and give an example with real workspace names and output names?Mon, 17 Sep 2012 15:56:08 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/511/workspace-moving-behaviour-across-multiple-screens/?comment=512#comment-512https://faq.i3wm.org/question/511/workspace-moving-behaviour-across-multiple-screens/?answer=515#post-id-515At this point (after you provided your config file), I’d say it’s a bug. Please file a ticket at http://bugs.i3wm.org/ with a full debug-level logfile and all the information you provided here.Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:11:37 +0000https://faq.i3wm.org/question/511/workspace-moving-behaviour-across-multiple-screens/?answer=515#post-id-515
