Adrian C. (anrxc) dfd6060a53 awful.autofocus: improve client focus with multiple screens
Changing screen focus to an empty tag leaves focus on a client on the
previous screen, if a tag with clients is focused next the focus
remains on the previous screen. Now awful.autofocus compares the tag
screen and clients screen to learn if the focus should be given to a
client on the focused screen. Client that gets the focus is selected
from history, as usual.

README

awesome
=======
awesome is a highly configurable, next generation framework window manager for X.

Building and installation
-------------------------
After extracting the dist tarball, run:

  make

This will create a build directory, run cmake in it and build awesome.

After building is finished, you can install:

  make install # you might need root permissions

Running awesome
---------------
You can directly select awesome from your display manager. If not, you can
add the following line to your .xinitrc to start awesome using startx
or to .xsession to start awesome using your display manager:

    exec awesome

In order to connect awesome to a specific display, make sure that
the DISPLAY environment variable is set correctly, e.g.:

    DISPLAY=foo.bar:1 exec awesome

(This will start awesome on display :1 of the host foo.bar.)

Configuration
-------------
The configuration of awesome is done by creating a $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/awesome/rc.lua file.
An example configuration named "awesomerc.lua.in" is provided in the source.

Troubleshooting
---------------
In most systems any message printed by awesome (including warnings and errors)
are written to $HOME/.xsession-errors.

If awesome does not start or the configuration file is not producing the desired
results the user should examine this file to gain insight into the problem.
