You can use the command focus output <left|right|down|up>|output> for that (see User's Guide, Section 6.4).

I myself use this:

bindsym Mod4+dead_circumflex focus output left

There is a wrap around so it seems to toggle between my two monitors.

You can also target a specific output by issuing its name:

bindsym Mod4+Control+1 focus output DP-1

You can use xrandr on the command line to get the names of your outputs.
