awesome for Debian ------------------ Do a right-button click with your mouse on a empty screen to start a shell. Then do 'man awesome' to learn more about the default keybindings and how to change them, and 'man awesomerc' to edit your configuration file. awesome uses Mod4 button for modifier by default which is likely to be your Windows key on i386 or amd64. To minimize changes in your custom configuration you can load the distributed configuration file with the single line: dofile("/etc/xdg/awesome/rc.lua") You can then place your additional customizations afterwards (see also #527115).
