I've just recently started using qtile, and quite enjoy it. However, the 
handling of groups in qtile is fairly different from most other WMs, and 
hinders my productivity.

Rather than the default arrangement where one group is always on one 
screen, I'm looking for a system more like stumpwm or MATE, in which a 
group controls all screens while it's active. Ideally, a group's windows 
could be arranged across active screens as desired while remaining in the 
same group, and when external displays are detached all those windows would 
still appear in the single remaining screen.

It looks like I could somewhat emulate this behavior by creating sets of 
multiple groups with a screen apiece, and setting the keybindings to switch 
between sets of groups instead of single groups. But this wouldn't play 
well when only a single screen is active, since only one group can be on 
that screen.

Is there any easy way to approach this?
