I've installed awesome 2.3.3 from the AUR. In trying to learn how to customize it, I see that I need files such as ~/.awesome/menu (and it seems that most other customizations require something similar). I'm supposed to "cat a file", as ~/.awesome is not a directory. I think I did this (cat > ~/.awesome/menu firefox xterm Ctrl-D) but "Mod4" + 'p' does nothing. I've got a socket file ~/.awesome_ctl.o, but I have no idea what that is. Anyone have an idea what I'm doing wrong? There seems to be quite a bit about customizing online, but they're beyond my n00bness without this. Thanks much.

If you just want a simple launcher, then pacman -S gmrun and then add to your .awesomerc:
key
{
modkey = {"Mod4"}
key = "r"
command = "spawn"
arg = "exec gmrun"
}
(superkey + r)
Then wait a couple of weeks till awesome3 gets released and start all over

$ mkdir ~/.awesome # this creates the .awesome directory
$ > ~/.awesome/menu # this creates the menu file
