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

Any plans on porting to wayland?
i'm reading this issue and this thread as i'm looking into migrate to wayland, since sooner or later we'll apparently have (i know this won't be very soon, but wayland is more and more mainstream). I know "any update on this?" is very annoying, and that's why i'm not open an issue, but... Any update on this?

selecting menu options without releasing right click
I guess, it's not supported at the moment or you'll have to do some hacks.. There is this issue (#3777) with the same problem.

A linux newbie has installed and configured Arch. Minimalist graphical capabilities?
I use the Awesome Window Manager. At it's core, it's a little difficult to figure out. But once you get the hang of assigning hot keys and whatnot, You'll be able to use it more fluently. I use it on all 3 of my machines (two desktops and one laptop). I Love it! I copy my configs from the machine I started it with and put them on the other 2 machines. Works great!
