@@ -328,6 +331,17 @@ Quickly finding and launching applications is the primary aim of Dashy. To that
 
 To start filtering, just start typing. No need to select the search bar or use any special key. You can then use either the tab key or arrow keys to select and move between results, and hit enter to launch the currently selected application. You can also use `Alt + Enter` on a selected app to launch it in a popup modal, `Ctrl + Enter` to open in new tab, or right-click on it to see all opening methods.
 
+You can also add custom tags to a given item, to make finding them based on keywords easier. For example, in the following example, searching for 'Movies' will show 'Plex'
+
+```yaml
+  items:
+  - title: Plex
+    description: Media library
+    icon: favicon
+    url: https://plex.lab.local
+    tags: [ movies, videos, music ]
+```
+
 For apps that you use regularly, you can set a custom keybinding. Use the `hotkey` parameter on a certain item to specify a numeric key, between `0 - 9`. You can then launch that app, by just pressing that key, which is very useful for services you use frequently.

+# Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+## Searching
+One of the primary purposes of Dashy is to allow you to quickly find and launch a given app. To make this as quick as possible, there is no need to touch the mouse, or press a certain key to begin searching - just start typing. Results will be filtered in real-time. No need to worry about case, special characters or small typos, these are taken care of, and your results should appear.
+
+## Navigating
+You can navigate through your items or search results using the keyboard. You can use <kbd>Tab</kbd> to cycle through results, and <kbd>Shift</kbd> + <kbd>Tab</kbd> to go backwards. Or use the arrow keys, <kbd>↑</kbd>, <kbd>→</kbd>, <kbd>↓</kbd> and <kbd>←</kbd>.
+
+## Launching Apps
+You can launch a elected app by hitting <kbd>Enter</kbd>. This will open the app using your default opening method, specified in `target` (either `newtab`, `sametab`, `modal` or `workspace`). You can also use <kbd>Alt</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> to open the app in a pop-up modal, or <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>Enter</kbd> to open it in a new tab. For all available opening methods, just right-click on an item, to bring up the context menu.
+
+## Tags
+By default, items are filtered by the `title` attribute, as well as the hostname (extracted from `url`), the `provider` and `description`. If you need to find results based on text which isn't included in these attributes, then you can add `tags` to a given item. 
+
+```yaml
+  items:
+  - title: Plex
+    description: Media library
+    icon: favicon
+    url: https://plex.lab.local
+    tags: [ movies, videos, music ]
+  - title: FreshRSS
+    description: RSS Reader
+    icon: favicon
+    url: https://freshrss.lab.local
+    tags: [ news, updates, blogs ]
+
+```
+
+In the above example, Plex will be visible when searching for 'movies', and FreshRSS with 'news'
+
+
+## Custom Hotkeys
+For apps that you use regularly, you can set a custom keybinding. Use the `hotkey` parameter on a certain item to specify a numeric key, between `0 - 9`. You can then launch that app, by just pressing that key, which is much quicker than searching for it, if it's an app you use frequently.
+
+```yaml
+- title: Bookstack
+  icon: far fa-books
+  url: https://bookstack.lab.local/
+  hotkey: 2
+- title: Git Tea
+  icon: fab fa-git
+  url: https://git.lab.local/
+  target: workspace
+  hotkey: 3
+```
+
+In the above example, pressing <kbd>2</kbd> will launch Bookstack. Or hitting <kbd>3</kbd> will open Git in the workspace view.
+
+
+## Clearing Search
+You can clear your search term at any time, by pressing <kbd>Esc</kbd>.
+This can also be used to close an open pop-up modal.
