change to active screen with the keyboard?

you are on localhost:0.0 with your mouse and want to change it with a keybinding to localhost:0.1 how to do that?

obviously you have to setup your xserver for multiple heads and you must’nt enable xinerama because that would combine multiple screens into on big screen :)

furthermore you have to install xwit which is really a nice little helper and comes in handy for several “problems”

finally bind a key to:

export DISPLAY=:0.1; xwit -warp 100 100

ok ok, now you are on the other screen … but how come back?
same way:

export DISPLAY=:0.1; xwit -warp 100 100

perhaps you have to tweak the “set the DISPLAY” a bit coz the commands i gave only work on the :0 – xserver so far.
