Alternative Menu

Introduction
I really liked the built-in menu for selecting a particular window quickly. However, the up/down mechanism was too limiting (not efficient). I modified the menu.lua code to add a hint to quickly raise a window.

Diff from awesome 3.4.6 menu.lua
32c32 < module("awful.menu") --- > module("batz.menu") 34a35,36 > --keys = "aoeuidhtns',.pyfgcrl;qjkxbmwvz1234567890" > keys = "asdfghjkl;qwertyuiopzxcvbnm,./1234567890" 189c191,197 <        check_access_key(cur_menu, key) --- >        local i = keys:find(key) >        if not(i == nil) and i <= #cur_menu.items then >            item_enter(cur_menu, i) >             exec(cur_menu, i) >         else >            check_access_key(cur_menu, key) >        end 278a287 >    local keys_index = 1 280c289 <        cls_t[#cls_t + 1] = { util.escape(c.name) or "", --- >        cls_t[#cls_t + 1] = { keys:sub(keys_index, keys_index) .. " " .. util.escape(c.name) or "", 288a298 >        keys_index = keys_index + 1

Usage
require("menu") batz.menu.keys = "aoeuidhtns',.pyfgcrl;qjkxbmwvz123456789" awful.key({ altkey,          }, "Escape",    function       batz.menu.menu_keys.down = { "j", "Down" }      batz.menu.menu_keys.up = { "k", "Up" }      local cmenu = batz.menu.clients({width=245}, { keygrabber=true, coords={x=525, y=330} })    end)
 * Place in ~/.config/awesome/
 * Add the following to the imports of rc.lua
 * To change the hint keys add the following to rc.lua (e.g. a dvorak layout)
 * Usage is just like awesome.menu (in rc.lua)
 * Now when M-Esc is pressed the menu is show, and pressing the key associated with the item raises it.
