The mouse moves around when you move your physical mouse around, and
clicks on things when you press the physical button on the mouse. I'm
not sure what kind of answer you're expecting here.
Just that I can resize by grabbing edges, and drag windows around with
the mouse ... all the things I'm used to ... unless of course there are
now better ways.
/I need custom keyboard shortcuts./
In the configuration file you have a list of keyboard commands, so you
can just add your own. They can perform arbitrary lua code.
Can they call external programs? I expect so. I wrote something in C
for jumping my mouse pointer around, it's very simple but it works and
there's nothing like it in xfce, mind .... I expect that awesome will be
able to do the same sort of thing natively.
