Describe the problem/motivation

The given solutions/options are all available in i3/sway. My motivation is trying to have the same workflow i have in i3/sway.

  1. Couldn't find an option to change focus to a monitor in specific direction. Only a workaround that works in a 2 monitor setup: focus --monitor 0/1. Otherwise i have to go through all windows in the workspaces in the direction of the second monitor to reach it.
  2. Moving a window to another monitor has a similar issue, i have to move it through all other windows in the direction to reach the monitor. I couldn't find a workaround for this.
  3. Move workspace to current monitor. Sometimes i am focused on monitor, and i want a specific workspace with a number to be moved in to the current monitor i am in. Not too crucial but is nice to have.

Describe the solution you'd like

  1. Like move-workspace --direction left/right there should be something like focus-monitor --direction left/right/up/down. Or add option to be able to specify direction within the monitor switch like focus --monitor left/right/up/down or add another extra switch like --monitor-direction.
  2. Again like move-workspace --direction left/right there should be something to move the focused window to a monitor in a specific direction. move-window --direction left/right. Or add new option within the move command like: move --monitor left/right/up/down .
  3. Add option move --workspace 1 --to-current-monitor.
