In case there are any other awesome users here, here is a modified rc.lua for awesome that will work with Colemak. Instead of using the default QWERTY hjkl for window movements, it uses QWERTY ijkl (Colemak unei), which is the same as Shai's vim configuration.
This config is for awesome 3.3. Don't expect it to work with older (or even newer) versions.
(This is not the same config that I use, but the keyboard commands are mostly the same.)
