Awesome WM ignores input in non-us layout

The bug is apparently in this https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/29123.

I'm duplicating a comment to the accepted answer here for better visibility.

A workaround is to edit file /usr/share/X11/xkb/compat/basic and remove or comment out the lines:

group 2 = AltGr;
group 3 = AltGr;
group 4 = AltGr;

as suggested here
