 Then, you can open up a REPL and use `(ql:quickload "cl-todo") to run.
 
+## Usage
+
+`cl-todo` is designed to be used via keyboard shortcuts:
+
+* UP/DOWN: switch between active widgets
+
+* ENTER: Complete and remove the active task, or (if the input field is
+  active) add a new task
+  
+* ESCAPE: Close the window (every action is autosaved)
+
+## TODO
+
+* finish basic implementation
+
+* add task priorities
+
+* implement directory-specific todo files (with Nautilus plugin?)
