    Another great example comes from one of awesome's developers, actionless who also developed oomox, the GTK theme customization software written in python you probably heard of. For more experimental configurations, there is another awesome dev, Avatar Emmanuel Lepage Vallée, who has a number of repos spun out of pull requests that offer glimpses into other directions one can take with Lua. Really the sky is the limit and that's definitely not the case with sway that makes you apologize for using Nvidia just to get it to run...

I know nothing about lua and very little programming knowledge, so I tried copying his dotfiles and delete other layouts, restart awesome and nothing happens...

    I was following this guide to configure my wm. I have copied the configuration files from here and changed them a little bit. Everything works fine but when I change the tag, it does not focus automatically and I don't want to click the window to focus every time. I am sorry if it is a really simple stuff and I am so newbie to know that.
