See <<move_to_outputs>> for how to move a container/workspace to a different
RandR output.
[[back_and_forth]]
To switch back to the previously focused workspace, use +workspace
back_and_forth+.
To move a container to another xrandr output such as +LVDS1+ or +VGA1+, you can
use the +move container to output+ command followed by the name of the target
output. You may also use +left+, +right+, +up+, +down+ instead of the xrandr
output name to move to the next output in the specified direction.
To move a whole workspace to another xrandr output such as +LVDS1+ or +VGA1+,
you can use the +move workspace to output+ command followed by the name of the
target output. You may also use +left+, +right+, +up+, +down+ instead of the

=== Moving containers/workspaces to RandR outputs
[[move_to_outputs]]
To move a container to another RandR output (addressed by names like +LVDS1+ or
+VGA1+) or to a RandR output identified by a specific direction (like +left+,
+right+, +up+ or +down+), there are two commands:
*Syntax*:
--------------------------------------------------------
move container to output <<left|right|down|up>|<output>>
move workspace to output <<left|right|down|up>|<output>>

*Examples*:
--------------------------------------------------------
# Move the current workspace to the next output
# (effectively toggles when you only have two outputs)
bindsym mod+x move workspace to output right
# Put this window on the presentation output.
bindsym mod+x move container to output VGA1
