awesomelinuxmulti-monitorwindow-manager
I'm using Awesome Windows Manager and two display (LVDS-1 as the secondary display in left and HDMI-1 as the main display in right). Awesome, by default duplicates screens and I want to switch focus on my display using the keyboard. It's now possible by moving the mouse cursor to each monitor.
Are there any hotkey commands or another way which does not require the mouse?
This isn't a direct answer to your question, but you might want to take a step back and consider why you want this feature. It may be because you are used to working in a particular manner under Windows, but you might find that Linux offers a different way to approach your tasks, which could be much more efficient and may not even require a taskbar!
For example I use the Awesome window manager, which allows me to perform all window management via the keyboard. Moving windows around, switching between programs, even moving windows between monitors can all be done via keyboard shortcuts. Using 'tags', windows can be linked to shortcut keys as well. So one keypress switches to my two Firefox windows (split screen on one monitor) and another keypress switches to Thunderbird on another monitor. Because of this, having a taskbar is not really necessary. Although having said that, by default you do get a taskbar on each screen!
Anyway, my point is that before you spend too much effort making your new environment work the same way your old one did, consider why you are moving away from your old environment in the first place!
I know this is kind of old, but there is an option in the Cinnamon panel settings to "Allow the pointer to pass through the edges of the panels". This is disabled by default. This may be your issue.
It's been a while since I've run 17.1, and my screenshot is from 18.3, but I'm pretty sure the option is still there somewhere.

Yes there should be.
Try Mod+Ctrl+j to focus the next screen.
Then Mod+Ctrl+k should focus the previous screen.
