I guess keybindings don't work because for example you are typing Mod-4 ψ
instead of Mod-4 c to close a program, and awesome doesn't know what Mod-4 ψ
means.
In your rc.lua you should find a section with keybindings that look like this:
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "c", function (c) c:kill()
end),
You should duplicate them with greek letters so that each keybinding is like
this:
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "c", function (c) c:kill()
end),
awful.key({ modkey, "Shift" }, "ψ", function (c) c:kill()
end),
That should work, I think.
