Groups only have a screen associated with them when they are visible on that screen. So requesting Qtile display a group will display that group on the current screen, even if that group is already displayed on a different screen. I've setup a custom function that modifies this behavior such that if the group is already displayed on a screen, it changes focus to that screen.

You can check out my configs here: https://github.com/jrwrigh/dotfiles2.0/tree/master/.config/qtile. Note that I've split off MutScratch into it's own repository (https://github.com/jrwrigh/qtile-mutable-scratch), so if you're interested in using it, I'd recommend working from that. > > Thanks! > > Adrián > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qtile-dev" group.
