-#### Input
+### Modes
++ the reason why we have modes is to make both
+inspecting and selection entries,
+and searching/filtering entries piss easy
+
+##### Normal mode
+The user may move up and down freely on the list
+with any prefered binding (Vimlike by default),
+or repeat a motion by specifying a repeat count
+before any motion.
+
+**\[repeat\]\<motion\>**
+
+move around
+
+
+**:<int>**
+
+Jump to Nth entry.
+
+#### Result stack
+Everytime the user issues a search,
+or inspects an item
+the result stack is pushed.
+
+The top search frame can/will be
+overwritten.
+
+The user may pop or clear by hand.
+
+The result stack is NOT persistent between sessions.
+
+#### Command mode
+Every character entered narrows the list of results.
+The user may use altered {ctrl+n} or special {arrow} keys
+to navigate the results,
+but may be unable to issue repeats or jumps.
+
+#### Global input
+Do note that these actions may have
+different bindings in different modes.
