This is my awesome configuration. It's based on Vicent Bernat's one but I have added new awesomeness to it and it's made for Awesome 3.5.
--Copy of vicent bernat's readme with just the parts left---
Here some of the things you may be interested in:
-
It is modular. I am using
configas a table to pass different things between "modules". -
In
rc/xrun.lua, there is axrunfunction which runs a program only if it is not already running. Instead of relying on tools likeps, it looks at the list of awesome clients and at the list of connected clients withxwininfo. Seems reliable. -
In
rc/apparance.lua, you may be interested by the way I configure GTK2 and GTK3 to have an unified look. It works and it does not needgnome-control-center. -
I am using notifications when changing volume or brightness. I am also using notifications to change xrandr setup. This is pretty cool.
-
Keybindings are "autodocumented". See
lib/keydoc.luato see how this works. The list of key bindings can be accessed with Mod4 + F1. -
On the debug front, I am quite happy with
dbg()inrc/debug.lua.
Things in lib/ are meant to be reused. I am using my own loadrc()
function to load modules and therefore, I prefix my modules with
vbe/. Before reusing a module, you may want to change this. Another
way to load them is to use:
require("lib/quake")
local quake = package.loaded["vbe/quake"]
Added by me:
-
Clients in each tags are numbered and you can get them with Alt+Num.
-
There's a drop-down client implementation in scratch/, just press modkey + F4 to drop-down-ish any client and modkey+F5 to show it.
-
The tasklist is shown bottom of screen in a spare widget, not at top as usual.
-
It's going to came with pomodoro Tasks ( pomodoroTasks in progress by myself which is going to be great, at least for me ;) )
-
You can configure maximum tasklist window width in rc/theme.lua (theme.tasklist_max_width)
-
Only works in Awesome 3.5!!
-
I use sakura as terminal and tmux
-
There're a lot coming in and maybe some changes missed but be patient. :)
