--- Create easily new key objects ignoring certain modifiers.
--
-- A key object can be used by @{awful.keyboard} and @{client} to define
-- keybindings.
--
-- Use awful.key to define a keybinding
-- ---
--
-- This example shows how to define a basic key object:
--
-- @DOC_text_awful_key_constructor_default_EXAMPLE@
--
-- This example shows how to define the same basic key object with the
-- declarative pattern:
--
-- @DOC_text_awful_key_constructor_declarative_EXAMPLE@
--
-- This second example of a key definition uses the numrow keygroup. In this
-- example, we define a key object, that select the tag to show according to
-- the key index from the numrow.

--- 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" },
-- }

-- bindings with the property `keygroup` instead of accessing this table
-- directly.
