I can't help you directly wioth your question, but I have (from https://github.com/ierton/awesomerc-ierton) a function which is doing exctly that: moving a client to the next tag, with cycling - check out the keybinding for modkey F2: awful.key({ modkey }, "F2", function (c) local tag = myrc.tagman.getn(1) awful.client.movetotag(tag, c) awful.tag.viewonly(tag) c:raise() end), and the corresponding functions.
