For windows and workspaces, you need to define a binding in your i3 config. Note: windows are called "containers", and monitors are called "outputs".

For moving windows:

move container to output left|right|down|up|current|primary|<output>

This is what I use in my i3 config:

# move focused window between monitors
bindsym $mod+Shift+greater move container to output right
bindsym $mod+Shift+less move container to output left

Note, you can also set a keybinding to send things to a specific monitor.

Moving focus between monitors works just like with one monitor. The focus will jump once you reach the "edge" of one monitor. The default binding is $mod+<arrow direction>. See also: moving workspaces between monitors.
