=== 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:

# 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
