Shortcut to bring mouse focused window to front

Question

Is there some way to bring the focused window to the front in awesome without clicking with the mouse?

I'm looking e.g. to find Mod-F1 to "bring window to front" and Mod-F2 to "send window to bottom". Expecting it to take the window that mouse is hovering to front or back.

Add these bindings to your rc.lua file; assuming you are using a slightly modified default 3.5 config file, these should fit in the clientkeys definition.

awful.key({ modkey, }, "F1", function (c) c:raise() end),
awful.key({ modkey, }, "F2", function (c) c:lower() end),
