Focus a new client in the `awful.layout.suit.max` layout

I am coming from i3 and I only used two layouts tiled and stacked. I am currently looking for a way to get the stacked layout into awesome.

It seems that awful.layout.suit.max is very close to what I want. The problem that I have is that I can't seem to focus any clients.

awful.client.focus.bydirection doesn't seem to do anything with the max layout. I looked at how awful.layout.suit.max and awful.layout.suit.max and there doesn't seem to be anything special.

So I assume awful.client.focus.bydirection doesn't work because the clients are stacked. awful.client.focus.byidx(-1) doesn't seem to do anything.

How would I select a new client in the awful.layout.suit.max layout?

Try my Collision module. It has all the necessary logic to support geometric navigation. This includes rather hacky tricks to work with all default layouts.
