Newbie to window manager, why use awesome over other dynamic wm ?
a lot of functionality can be added with patches, but you have to try and juggle those all yourself (and work out any conflicts between them yourself) - there are some projects like dwm-flexipatch to try and make it easier to deal with them, but it's way more trouble than I am interested in
What are some alternatives?
When comparing shotkey and dwm-flexipatch you can also consider the following projects:
sxhkd - Simple X hotkey daemon
patches - Collection of patches for dwm, st and dmenu
