Alright, it's late and I'm in lazy-hack mode, so there's likely a
better way to do this, that's left up to the reader :). I think I've
got it working, but it requires editing
/usr/share/awesome/lib/awful/completion.lua. Patch is attached.
I've only updated it for bash, because I have no experience with zsh;
and I've only tested the "compgen -A command" path as I'm just using
vanilla bash completion.
Hope it works for you!
Cheers,
Bryan
