+# monitors
+
+## Description
+
+This patch adds the ability to swap tagsets and clients between monitors in dwm.
+It helps users who use multiple monitors to quickly rearrange workspaces by moving
+all windows and tag assignments from one monitor to another.
+
+## Usage
+
+After applying the patch, the following key binding will be available by default:
+
+MODKEY + Shift + Apostrophe (')
+
+This keybinding will:
+
+- Swap the currently active monitor's tagset with the adjacent monitor's tagset.
+- Move all clients (windows) between the two monitors, effectively swapping their contents.
+
+> You can modify the keybinding by editing the following line in `config.def.h`:
+>
+> ```c
+> { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_apostrophe, swapmon, {0} },
+> ```
