This is because awesome is holding the input when xdotool is run. Try
for example this:
awful.key({ "Mod3" }, "1", function ()
awful.util.spawn("sh -c 'xdotool key --clearmodifiers F1'")
end),
awful.key({}, "F1", function ()
awful.util.spawn("notify-send 'Hello, world!'")
end),
Awesome picks up the F1 press when you type Mod3+1. You can insert a
delay to give your fingers time to release the keys before xdotool is
run, so that awesome will pass input through again:
awful.key({ "Mod3" }, "1", function ()
awful.util.spawn("sh -c 'sleep 0.5; xdotool key --clearmodifiers F1'")
end),
