Hello, how did you setup the multi-screen setup:
1) Using XRandr or arandr
2) Using Xaphod mode
3) Using NVIDIA TwinView
4) Using Xinerama
5) Using MOSAIC
If (2) Awesome 3.5 and later don't support Xaphod and wont ever support it again. If (4) probably a configuration error on your side.
Also, does the bug exist in Awesome git-master (@psychon should we add this question to the template?). Move your current rc.lua elsewhere for the test or use a different user account.

I use XRandr, the command is
# for home screen by awesome
$xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1600x900 --right-of LVDS1 --mode 1920x1080
Since I have no good idea:
Can you change awful.key({modkey, }, "F1", function () awful.screen.focus(1) end) into awful.key({modkey, }, "F1", function () awful.screen.focus(1); naughty.notify{text="foo"} end) to check if this code is actually run when you press mod+F1?
Edit by Elv13: typo in the code

@psychon did not run, because cannot see notify, just like before.

Could you show us your full config with all your modifications? Apparently something is weirdly wrong there if no keybindings work...

Hm, I still have no idea. Next random idea:
Use some key which you know works instead of Mod+F1. For example Mod+u (or Mod+w or Mod+k or...):
awful.key({modkey, }, "u", function () awful.screen.focus(1); naughty.notify{text="foo"} end),
or just F1:
awful.key({}, "F1", function () awful.screen.focus(1); naughty.notify{text="foo"} end),
Second idea: Run "xev" in a terminal and press Mod+F1. Show us what output xev generates for that key press (and perhaps also for some other key combinations like "just F1" or "Mod+i").
By the way: What's your keyboard layout? Anything "fancy"?

I can't see anything special/weird in there. It all just looks fine. However, the fact that xev gets mod+F1 means that awesome didn't grab it for sure...
However, the key code for F1 is 67:
KeyPress event, serial 33, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
root 0xc5, subw 0x0, time 469657772, (4,91), root:(2566,111),
state 0x50, keycode 67 (keysym 0xffbe, F1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
XFilterEvent returns: False
So, another idea:
awful.key({modkey}, "#67", function () awful.screen.focus(1); naughty.notify{text="foo"} end),
awful.key({}, "#67", function () awful.screen.focus(1); naughty.notify{text="foo"} end),
If one of these two (mod+F1 and just plain F1) works, then awesome fails to translate "F1" into its keycode.
With the above idea, here is something else to try:
local k = key{ key = "F1" }
naughty.notify({ timeout = 600, text = "keysym = " .. (k.keysym or "nil") .. "; key = " .. (k.key or "nil") .. "; modifiers = " .. k.modifiers })
This just displays the result of awesome's translation of F1 into a keysym (and could be run via awesome-client or just by appending to the end of your config)

The following doesn't show anything?!?!?!?
echo 'local k = key{ key = "F1" } ; naughty.notify({ timeout = 600, text = "keysym = " .. (k.keysym or "nil") .. "; key = " .. (k.key or "nil") .. "; modifiers = " .. k.modifiers })' | awesome-client
This sounds a lot like you are not actually editing your config file. This really _must_ have some effect.

I did not echo this command but just appended it to the end of rc.lua.
finally, I got some sweet error when I used echo that command, thank god.
the error is
Oops, an error happened
[string "local k = key {key="F1"};naught.noify(..."]:1: attempt to index a nil value(global 'naughty')
Ah, sorry. For the echo version it needs to be require("naughty") instead of naughty, so:
echo 'local k = key{ key = "F1" } ; require("naughty").notify({ timeout = 600, text = "keysym = " .. (k.keysym or "nil") .. "; key = " .. (k.key or "nil") .. "; modifiers = " .. k.modifiers })' | awesome-client
the new error message is
Oops, an error happened
[string "local k = key {key="F1"};naught.noify(..."]:1: attempt to concatenate a table value(field 'modifiers')
Give me a year and I will produce a working version...
echo 'local k = key{ key = "F1" } ; require("naughty").notify({ timeout = 600, text = "keysym = " .. (k.keysym or "nil") .. "; key = " .. (k.key or "nil") .. "; modifiers = " .. require("gears.debug").dump_return(k.modifiers) })' | awesome-client
OK, no error again and show message is
keysym=F1; key=F1; modifiers=
and the message is showed in another monitor(also error messages) but the focus does not be moved.

Weird. I have no idea why the key binding for F1 does not work.
Edit: Sorry :-(

hi~, it works using ctrl + modkey + j without any configuration in rc.lua and I do not know why, but it works.
