+The `dropdown-terminal.service` is very simple, and always keeps a (`alacritty`) terminal window running.
 The program is started with a `scratchpad` class, which is picked up by [`i3`](i3) and automatically hidden.
 You can then show/hide the terminal as a floating overlay as you need, mimicking a floating terminal
 (by default with `super + shift + return`, though this may change).
 When you close the window in any way, systemd automatically restarts it in the background.

+
+  mkfifo \$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/sxhkd_fifo && sxhkd -s \$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/sxhkd_fifo
+
+ When given a key combination which maps to a specific mode, it will print out the name
+ of the mode instead. These maps can be passed with -c flag, specifying an options file.
+ By default it will look in \$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/sxhkd/sxhkd-chain-labels.conf
+
+ When passed the -o flag it will replace the contents of the file passed in with the 
+ current sxhkd chain mode, emptying the file when no mode is active.

+
+ Lines beginning with a # will be ignored. Whitespace is important, sxhkd will, by 
+ default, put a single space between any component of the key combination.
+
+ An example file chain-labels.conf:
+   media:super + alt + m
+   system:super + backspace
+
+ Instead of using an explicit configuration file, you can put the chain mode 
+ information into the regular sxhkdrc as comments. They need to follow this exact format:
+   # mode:mode-name:key-chain 
+
+ They can occur anywhere in the file. The space between # and mode is necessary, and #

+# sxhkd
+
+[sxhkd](https://github.com/baskerville/sxhkd) -- simple X hotkey daemon
+
+sxhkd is set up to manage most of the key bindings in this dotfile configuraition. It is primarily used for three things: system control, to invoke rofi, and to switch between different desktop operating modes.
+
+## system control
+
+* super+x: lock the system, i.e. put a lockscreen in front of it, unlocked with your password
+* media keys: control the Brightness, Volume, Mute of the system
+* super+return: open a terminal
+
+## rofi invocations
+
+* super+backspace: system management (shutdown,reboot,logout,..)
+* super+space: app launching
+* super+r: extended run menu
+* super+p: password/secret autofill menu
+* super+F8: theme setting menu
+* super+q: quick access to bookmarks and search bangs
+
+## modal desktop
+
+The modal setup of this desktop allows to first invoke an operating mode and then open the possibility for additional keybindings.
+For example, `alt + m` will invoke the `media` mode and then media playback can be controlled through the hjkl keys.
+Think of it like invoking the insert mode, or visual mode in a modal editor like vim.
+
+The idea behind the modal system is to not overload normal system operation with key binds that are only needed every now and again, and mostly as a coherent package.
+If I want to control my media playback, by seeking forward or backward, having quick access to controlling the volume seems logical.
+But I may not want to open a scholarly pdf, or programming project at the same time, so these actions don't need to be included in a coherent 'media' mode.
+
+The modes currently are:
+
+* media, for controlling playback and volume
+* academia, for opening pdf, seeing upcoming readings, and editing references
+
+They are still in flux and may change every now and again as I put this modal setup to the test. To get a closer look at the actual key binds, look into `.config/sxhkd/sxhkdrc` for now.
+
+## modal notifications
+
+To know which mode is currently active on the desktop, this module includes a script which will print sxhkd's current mode to stdout, or a file.
+This script can be used to show the active mode in a status bar, for example (as the polybar module in these dotfiles does).
+
+The script lives in `.local/bin/sxhkd-chain-labels` and can be invoked from the path by default. To see available options and the configuration file format use `sxhkd-chain-labels -h`, or take look at the script itself.
+
+This module overwrites the usual sxhkd program invocation using an alias, which makes sxhkd always (if no options are passed) create and use a named pipe in the XDG_RUNTIME_DIR directory. This is the default location the script will pick it up in.
