Since I suggested this change to Anselm, let me clarify this: - the dependence of the behavior on the existence of the tag is inconsistent, and was unintended. - the change itself (switching to the view the client is sent to) is more consistent because focus stays on the client too when you send it to another area, or you make it floating (so keeping the client focussed when sending it to another view too would make it so that focus always stays on the client when you send it somewhere). I overlooked an important difference when suggesting this change though: a client can only be in one area (per view) at a time, but it can be in multiple views; hence, it is not clear what view to pick when retagging a client with something like "aap+noot"; should view "aap" or "noot" be picked here? Hence, it is already decided that the old behavior (keeping the current view) will be restored. Even though this will slightly decrease consistency, it will improve predictability (and has the nice side-effect of being able to startup clients in the background through rules).
