+--- The default definitions of keygroups.
+--
+-- A definition for a keygroup (say, **arrows**) can be accessed by indexing
+-- this table (e.g. `awful.key.keygroups.arrows`).
+--
+-- Every definition is given as an array, where every element is another array
+-- with the following structure:
+--
+-- * The first element is a string representing a key, in any format the
+-- property `key` will allow.
+-- * The second element is a value. Key bindings created by `awful.key` and a
+-- `keygroup` are bound to a 1-parameter function, whose parameter is this
+-- second element.
+--
+-- As an example, **arrows** is currently defined thus:
+--
+--    arrows = {
+--        {"Left"  , "Left"  },
+--        {"Right" , "Right" },
+--        {"Up"    , "Up"    },
+--        {"Down"  , "Down"  },
+--    }
+--
+-- This table is acessed internally by Awesome. Users will usually use key
+-- bindings with the property `keygroup` instead of accessing this table
+-- directly.
