@ -381,6 +381,27 @@ multi-screen support to existing configs, see how
`awful.screen.connect_for_each_screen` is used in the new `rc.lua` or rebuild
your config on a newer revision of `rc.lua`.
### Can I have a client or the system tray on multiple screens at once?
No. This is an X11 limitation and there is no sane way to work around it.
### Can a client be tagged on different screens at once?
While it is not impossible to partially implement support for this, many
Awesome components frequently query the client's screen.
Since a client can only be in one screen at once, this will cause side effects.
So by default Awesome avoids, but does not prevent, having clients in multiple
tags that are not on the same screen.
### Can a tag be on multiple screens?
No. See the previous two questions. However, it is possible to swap tags across
screens using `t:swap(t2)` (assuming `t` and `t2` are valid `tag` objects).
This can be used to emulate a tag being on multiple screens. Note that this will
break support for multi-tagged clients. For this reason it isn't implemented by
default.
