Hi,
Of course, I send you the link for the latest default awesomerc.lua wich
only work for awesome 3.5 !
I agree with you, the Awesome API doc is sometime incomplete or cryptic,
but I remember that someone start to fix this (see the mailing list
archives).
So, sorry, I don't really understand your message but, does all work well,
or have you got any error again ?
Just some advice for your code :
- replace *kbdcfg.widget.text = t *with* kbdcfg.widget:set_markup(t)*
- replace your function in awful.key and awful.button :
*function () kbdcfg.switch() end* become *kbdcfg.switch*
No more needed as your function doesn't require any arguments. it
increases the readability.
Regards,
Alexis
