just thinking about this a bit after reading twfb's initial comment on cycling through things, perhaps... for monitor selection (this seems more natural for general usage and seems like a good default) mod1-shift-j mod1-shift-k for changing a monitor tag on client you could do mod1-ctrl-j mod1-ctrl-k or mod1-shift-h mod1-shift-l I'm not too sure what would be more comfortable for changing the monitor tag of a client. I'm going to try changing my keymappings to for monitor selection mod1-shift-j mod1-shift-k for changing a monitor tag on client mod1-ctrl-j mod1-ctrl-k and see how well it works.
