You're welcome!

I'm not sure to understand correct this behaviour. If "m"-mode means the
default meta-m keystroke (monocle layout in vanilla config.h), how can you see
more than on client in monocle. Does your focused window is floating?

What about place your awkward key to either one of the shift keys (that you use
less often, or don't use at all :-)). I can't think a better solution, except
to use F1[0-2] if you only have 9 or less tags; this, though, sounds
uncomfortable as well. I'll think a bit about this in order to improve my
layout too. Thanks for the hint.
