I have a set up of 4 monitors set to Xinerama (using NVidia's config tool) There are three things I can do with dwm (which recognizes each monitor as what they call a screen) that I've not yet been able to figure out with openbox. One is to change focus to a monitor. That is, if I'm on monitor 1, is there a way to change focus to monitor 2 without using the mouse? I can get to monitor 2, assuming there's an application open in it, by using alt+tab till I hit said application, but I'm looking for a way to just change focus to monitor two without there being an open application. o Next--I've found (only on an Ubuntu forum, I didn't see this in the docs) a way to send a window to the next monitor, using <action> MoveResizeTo <monitor>next</monitor> tags, but it doesn't seem to work with <monitor>previous</monitor>. Is there a way to do that. I can move it with other keyboard shortcuts and get it to the previous monitor, but I would think that if next works, previous should also work. I'm fairly sure I'm not mistyping. Lastly--I feel as if this is in the docs but I'm just not smart enough to get it. With dwm, I can move to what they call a new tag, similar enough to a desktop. On this 4 monitor setup, If I'm on monitor 2, I can just move monitor 2 to a new tag (desktop) while the others stay the same. Is there a way to do this in openbox? That is, if while focused in monitor one if I use the keys ctl+alt+right to get to desktop 2, I only want that to happen with monitor 2, not the other 3. Is there a fairly simple way to do that? All of these are things I can work around--I tend to change between openbox and dwm, but there was another odd problem that seems to have been tied to the tint2 task bar, and I just figured that out this morning. Due to said problem, I hadn't used openbox in awhile. Thank you for taking the time to look at this, and I'd be grateful for any help.
