+# swapwindows
+
+## Description
+
+This patch allows swapping the selected client (window) with the selected window
+on the other monitor. Useful for moving a window to the other monitor while
+preserving the window focus and order.
+
+## Usage
+
+After applying the patch, the following key binding will be available by default:
+
+MODKEY + Shift + /
+
+This keybinding will:
+
+- Swap the currently focused window with the focused window on the next monitor (if any).
+- If the other monitor has no selected client, it will just move the current focused window to it.
+- Rearrange and refocus appropriately after the operation.
+
+> You can customize this keybinding in your `config.def.h`:
+>
+> ```c
+> { MODKEY|ShiftMask, XK_slash, swapwindow, {0} },
+> ```
+
