+## Searching and Shortcuts 🔎
+
+Quickly finding and launching applications is the primary aim of Dashy. To that end instant search and customizable keyboard shortcuts are built-in.
+
+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.
+
+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.
+
+Example:
+
+```yaml
+- title: Bookstack
+  icon: far fa-books
+  url: https://bookstack.local/
+  hotkey: 8
+```
+
+Hit `Esc` at anytime to close any open apps, clear the search field, or hide any modals.

 ## Config Editor ⚙️
 
 From the Settings Menu in Dashy, you can download, backup, edit and rest your config. An interactive editor makes editing the config file easy, it will tell you if you've got any errors. After making your changes, you can either apply them locally, or export into your main config file. After saving to the config file to the disk, the app will need to be rebuilt. This will happen automatically, but may take a few minutes. You can also manually trigger a rebuild from the Settings Menu. A full list of available config options can be found [here](./docs/configuring.md). It's recommend to make a backup of your configuration, as you can then restore it into a new instance of Dashy, without having to set it up again. [json2yaml](https://www.json2yaml.com/) is very useful for converting between YAML to JSON and visa versa.

 **`url`** | `string` | Required | The URL / location of web address for when the item is clicked
 **`icon`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The icon for a given item. Can be a font-awesome icon, favicon, remote URL or local URL. See [`item.icon`](#sectionicon-and-sectionitemicon)
 **`target`** | `string` | _Optional_ | The opening method for when the item is clicked, either `newtab`, `sametab`, `modal` or `workspace`. Where `newtab` will open the link in a new tab, `sametab` will open it in the current tab, and `modal` will open a pop-up modal with the content displayed within that iframe. Note that for the iframe to load, you must have set the CORS headers to either allow `*` ot allow the domain that you are hosting Dashy on, for some websites and self-hosted services, this is already set.
+**`hotkey`** | `number` | _Optional_ | Give frequently opened applications a numeric hotkey, between `0 - 9`. You can then just press that key to launch that application.
 **`statusCheck`** | `boolean` | _Optional_ | When set to `true`, Dashy will ping the URL associated with the current service, and display its status as a dot next to the item. The value here will override `appConfig.statusCheck` so you can turn off or on checks for a given service. Defaults to `appConfig.statusCheck`, falls back to `false`
 **`statusCheckUrl`** | `string` | _Optional_ | If you've enabled `statusCheck`, and want to use a different URL to what is defined under the item, then specify it here
 **`statusCheckHeaders`** | `object` | _Optional_ | If you're endpoint requires any specific headers for the status checking, then define them here
