Most of the time it's okay, but there are the odd cases when I have
been spawning a few clients on several "less important" tags and they
"jump" in front of the clients that are on "important" tags when I
merge the tags in the same view.
I have to refocus the important windows (the one I keep on the important tags.
Actually it could be useful to have a de-focus feature that would push
the client down the whole stack… I might give that a shot some time.

Yes. But for those that have a workflow that would benefit from this
new way, it'd probably be time well spent. It took me some time to get
use to dwm in the frist place.

Maybe Mod+Shift+i could unignore all window / reignore all previously ignored…
I use the mouse a lot. Maybe even more than Mod+j/k. Mostly because I
use applications that are sensitive to the position of the mouse (Acme
and Firefox) so that wouldn't be a problem.
The feature's usefulness is highly workflow dependent. But I think it
has its place in with the patches on the website.
