Awesome Bryan - Thanks! I've updated my rc.lua with it just so that I can simply press escape to close the menu! Cursor keys work as well, but the escape key was the one I really wanted ;-)
One minor change though - It worked better for me without the following line... > mylauncher:buttons(), Cheers, Dave -----Original Message----- From: Bryan Gardiner [mailto:b...@khumba.net] Sent: Sunday, 29 July 2012 5:44 AM To: awesome@naquadah.org Subject: Re: Any key binding to collapse the "a" menu?

There are three ways to open the app menu: clicking on the launcher in the top-left, right-clicking on the desktop, or Mod+w. By default Mod+w allows keys to be used to navigate the menu, whereas the other two don't. But we can change this! Right-clicking on the desktop is easy to change. Search for > root.buttons(awful.util.table.join( > awful.button({ }, 1, function () mymainmenu:toggle() end), in your rc.lua and change "toggle()" to "toggle({ keygrabber = true })". To make the launcher grab keys as well, we can change this: > mylauncher = awful.widget.launcher({ image = image(beautiful.awesome_icon), > menu = mymainmenu }) to this: > mylauncher = awful.widget.launcher({ image = image(beautiful.awesome_icon), > command = "" }) > mylauncher:buttons(awful.util.table.join( > mylauncher:buttons(), > awful.button({ }, 1, function () > mymainmenu:toggle({ keygrabber = true }) > end))) Then, right-arrow can be used to open submenus and applications, and left can go back and close.
