Awesome keybindings: am I doing it wrong?

In my rc.lua:

locker = "slock"
...
keybinding({ modkey, "Control" }, "l", function () awful.spawn(locker) end):add()

And modkey is set to Mod1 (and slock ins installed). But when I press alt-ctrl-l, nothing happens. How do I fix this?

Check if its not bound to anything else. In my config it was default binding for awful.tag.incncol(-1)

This is what I have added to my rc.lua for xlock:

lock="xlock"
keybinding({ modkey ,"Shift"}, "z", function () awful.spawn(lock) end):add()

Can you launch slock without sudo in a terminal?

Try pressing the keys and then switch to tty1 to see the output.

And if you're using git version or 3.1-rc1, it's awful.util.spawn(foo).

Re: Awesome keybindings: am I doing it wrong?

I get an error in line 518: "bad value, must be greater than 1".

Edit: yeah, it's already bound. Phooey. alt+shift+z works.
