So this is a solution to the problem for two screen setups. > The focusmon and tagmon issues that you noted are indeed there in a default > setup and it's mainly noticeable when you have more than two monitors.

At least not to me since the screen order as returned by Xinerama somehow seems to depend on when I plug the monitors in. And since I use a Laptop that I carry around and plug monitors in and out the order of the screens is sometimes correct/as expected and sometimes not. So swapping keybindings in dwm would not solve the issue.
