So far, I'm enjoying awesome a lot but I do miss being able to select
left, right, up and down via h-j-k-l.
You just need to change the keybinding behavior to use
awful.client.focus.bydirection(direction)
.bydirection expects the codes 'Left', 'Right', 'Up', 'Down'
So something like:
table.insert(globalkeys, key({modkey},"h", function()
awful.client.focus.bydirection("Left") end))
should work.
You can look at revelation.lua (search wiki) for more of an example of how to
use this.

An other convenient stuff with wmii is the possibility to switch betwin

My understanding of awesome is quite weak.
Is there any howto or documentation about creating a layout?

I recently switched from wmii using a custom wmii-python a month or so
ago to dwm. I tried using dwm but, because of the lack of a
different layout
per workspace (or whatever you want to call it) and non-column
system, I was
never fond of dwm (besides for the simple code and minimalism). Wmii is
great but the developers are stuck on plan9 stuff (the bash script is
always changing and neglected) and development is slow, community small.
I switched to awesome a few weeks ago too and haven't looked back.
So far, I'm enjoying awesome a lot but I do miss being able to select
left, right, up and down via h-j-k-l. (For non-wmii users if I have a
screen with 6 terminals, all equally sized on my screen, 3 on each
"side" of the screen... with wmii I was able to directly go from the
"center" terminal on the left side to the "center" terminal on the right
side with a simply MODKEY-l. With dwm, awesome, x-modnad and almost
every other tiling window manager, you've gotta use the mouse or press
'j' or 'k' until you've got the right window.
I've thought about writing my own layout tracking thing or something to
do this to support switching virtual columns or something but I'm seeing
if I can get used to just cycling through with j and k. Maybe I'll work
on this tomorrow, as I too found it convenient.
