How to focus client in Awesome WM

Question

I have instance of the client which should be focused. I found only following ways to give focus to client:

• focus.bydirection (dir, c) - Focus a client by the given direction.
• focus.byidx (i, c) - Focus a client by its relative index.
• focus.filter (c) - Filter out window that we do not want handled by
• focus. focus.history.add (c) - Update client focus history.
• focus.history.delete (c) - Remove a client from the focus history.
• focus.history.get (screen, idx) - Get the latest focused client for a
• screen in history. focus.history.previous () - Focus the previous client in history.

But how to focus a client if I already have an instance?

Answer 1

You should try:

client.focus = c
c:raise()

c is the client which you want to focus.
