You can define a menuitem like before:
awful.menu({ items = { { "&awesome", myawesomemenu,
beautiful.awesome_icon },
{ "open &terminal", terminal },
})
and the letters following the ampersand in itemname can be used as
access key. (at least former fvwm users might find this familiar)
When there are submenus open awesome ascends during the search from the
current menu to the top level menu.
The access key is shown underlined.
There is no warning for multiple used keys, only the first one found
gets the price.
