That may be doable in an easy way: defines too identical key bindings
doing 2 differents action.
e.g. 

key { mod = {"Mod4"} key = 6 command = screen_focus arg = 1 }
key { mod = {"Mod4"} key = 6 command = tag_view arg = 1 }

(syntax may be wrong, it's 8am)

So both actions would be executed in this order.
What do you think about?

Currently this is disabled because there's a break; statement in the
loop searching and executing uicb for key bindings, but removing this
one would make this possible.

IIRC, xmonad is doing this way.

Honestly, I though about it, but I doppred this idea mainly for 2
reasons:
- May break the multiple-tag view
- Add possibly heavy code to move windows around between screens
- This is not the way I'm used

However I'm not against the idea, but I need to think about it and see
if this is really what most people do.
Personnaly, I do not care, already though about this but it was more
complicated to implement stuff this way so I just drop the idea for now.
