What do I have to modify in order to be able to use two or more monitors and have everything work correctly like switching clients between monitors and things like that?

Connected the monitor or monitors and run the command xrandr on your terminal; you must see the ports like "HDMI-1" or "eDP-1" with the resolutions the monitors support.

The video outputs seem to be recognized. Now install ARandR and you have to see something like this:

Now right-click, and you should see the screens you have available; with ARandR, you can now arrange the monitors to your liking, try this and all that is left is to create the 01-monitors.conf file, but first, let's verify that you can use the monitors with ARandR.

It works perfectly the only detail is that each screen does not have unique tags what I want is that monitor 1 has the tags from 1 to 4 and monitor 2 has the tags from 5 to 8 to be able to move the clients easily between screens.
