  After trying several combinations, I found one that correctly brings a frame from scratchpad to the background frame:
In Lua console:    _:screen_of():mx_current():current():current():attach(_sub)
In a key binding: kpress(META.."Shift+k", "_:screen_of():mx_current():current():current():attach(_)"),

  Note the difference between _sub and _. So yes, my _ was wrong.

So the current working set of keybindings for my proposal is:

defbindings("WClientWin", {
 kpress(META.."k", "WMPlex.attach(ioncore.lookup_region('*scratchpad*'),_)"),
 kpress(META.."Shift+k", "_:screen_of():mx_current():current():current():attach(_)"),
})

  Maybe this needs some tweaks, for instance: when I move to scratchpad and the open the scratchpad, I expect to find the moved frame selected; without having to move to the right of the active on.
  Also I would like to use a single key instead of no: If the scratchpad is open, do one thing. If it is closed do another


  Is this useful for other people? How would you improve it?
