modalawesome VS awesome-copycats

But maybe you will prefer modalawesome. You should have a look to the demo

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.

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.

You could also check out modal awesome.

Not sure how I can start applications in /etc/xdg/autostart/ in awesomeWM. Have this in my rc.lua (from lcpz/awesome-copycats rc.lua.template): awful.spawn.with_shell(

I wouldn't pick a distro based on this. If you want a pre-config check out awesomewm-copycats

I'm working from a theme from here: https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats/tree/master/themes that I've tweaked a little bit. So there are two files involved:

You can look at the docs for awful.wibar to see all of the options, and have a look at some example configs like awesome-copycats to see what's possible and actual examples of how the wibar options are used.

https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats Powerline-Dark is the theme used here.

Start exploring official documentation, there is section about default configuration. You can also take a look at existing themes like awesome-copycats or manilaromes glorious dotfiles and see how they do things and start experimenting.

Hi, I've been using awesome for some months already, most of the confix coming from https://github.com/lcpz/awesome-copycats.

My config is mostly based on awesome-copycats with some custom additions.
