How to focus a client in Awesome WM

Question

I have a client instance that needs to be focused. I found only the following ways to give focus to the client:

• focus.bydirection (dir, c) - Focus the client in a given direction.
• focus.byidx (i, c) - concentrate the client by its relative index.
• focus.filter (c) - Filter out a window that we do not want to process
• focus. focus.history.add (c) - Refresh client focus history.
• focus.history.delete (c) - remove the client from the focus history.
• focus.history.get (screen, idx) - Get the last focused client for
• screen in history. focus.history.previous () - Focus the previous client in the story.

But how to focus the client if I already have an instance?

Answer 1

You must try:

client.focus = c c:raise() 

c is the client you want to focus on.
