Hi Javier,
I'm looking at my Awesome 3.4.9 files, so forgive me if there are any
differences to your version.
There are three ways to open the app menu: clicking on the launcher in
the top-left, right-clicking on the desktop, or Mod+w. By default
Mod+w allows keys to be used to navigate the menu, whereas the other
two don't. But we can change this!
Right-clicking on the desktop is easy to change. Search for
> root.buttons(awful.util.table.join(
> awful.button({ }, 1, function () mymainmenu:toggle() end),
in your rc.lua and change "toggle()" to "toggle({ keygrabber = true
})". To make the launcher grab keys as well, we can change this:
> mylauncher = awful.widget.launcher({ image = image(beautiful.awesome_icon),
> menu = mymainmenu })
to this:
> mylauncher = awful.widget.launcher({ image = image(beautiful.awesome_icon),
> command = "" })
> mylauncher:buttons(awful.util.table.join(
> mylauncher:buttons(),
> awful.button({ }, 1, function ()
> mymainmenu:toggle({ keygrabber = true })
> end)))
Then, right-arrow can be used to open submenus and applications, and
left can go back and close.
Cheers,
Bryan
