Not all .desktop files are being put in the "main menu"
Default awesome config doesn't parse .desktop files at all. Some deb based distributions modified it to use awesome-freedesktop but it's surely not an only way to get the application menu (there are stand alone apps like rofi). So first of all you should mention which way to create the menu are you using.
- best menu for awesome ?
- jgmenu in awesomewm

Where all the menu entries?
Freedesktop.org compliant menu and desktop icons - older style, but dynamic. Not bad, but not for me. https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-freedesktop

A few questions about awesomewm
Ok, here is another set of answers: 1. Not out of the box, but there is a keygrabber which allows you to do this. You can find the implementation in this repo. 2. Pretty easy. Check the article about awful.spawn. The docs for git master version of awesome are generally better, but there are quite a few differences compared to last release.
-
is there a vimium c type extension or plugin that directly works with the window manager?
The closest thing I've seen is modalawesome. It doesn't provide the keybindings but it does provide the interface for defining vi-like key sequences.

prefix keys, key sequences, key chords, leader key
