 .SH DESCRIPTION
 .SS Overview
-.B dmenu

-originally designed for
+dmenu is a generic menu for X, originally designed for
 .BR dwm (1).
-It supports arbitrary, user defined menu contents.
+It manages huge amounts (up to 10.000 and more) of user defined menu items
+efficiently.
 .SS Options
 .TP
-.B \-v
-prints version information to stdout, then exits.
-.SH USAGE
-.B dmenu
-reads a list of newline-separated items from stdin and creates a menu.
-When the user selects an item or enters any text and presses Return, his choice
-is printed to stdout and
-.B dmenu
-terminates.
-.B dmenu
-is completely controlled by the keyboard.  The following keys are recognized:
+.B \-b
+makes dmenu appear at the screen bottom (by default it appears at the screen top).
 .TP
-Any printable character
-Appends the character to the text in the input field. This works as a filter:
+.B \-fn <font>
+defines the font.
+.TP
+.B \-nb <color>
+defines the normal background color (#RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported).
+.TP
+.B \-nf <color>
+defines the normal foreground color (#RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported).
+.TP
+.B \-p <prompt>
+defines a prompt to be displayed before the input area.
+.TP
+.B \-sb <color>
+defines the selected background color (#RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported).
+.TP
+.B \-sf <color>
+defines the selected foreground color (#RGB, #RRGGBB, and color names are supported).
+.TP
+.B \-t <seconds>
+defines the seconds to wait for standard input, before exiting (default is 3).
+.TP
+.B \-v
+prints version information to standard output, then exits.
+.SH USAGE
+dmenu reads a list of newline-separated items from standard input and creates a
+menu.  When the user selects an item or enters any text and presses Return, his/her
+choice is printed to standard output and dmenu terminates.
+.P
+dmenu is completely controlled by the keyboard. The following keys are recognized:
+.TP
+.B Any printable character
+Appends the character to the text in the input field.  This works as a filter:
 only items containing this text will be displayed.
 .TP
-Left/Right
+.B Left/Right (Mod1-h/Mod1-l)
 Select the previous/next item.
 .TP
-Tab
+.B PageUp/PageDown (Mod1-k/Mod1-j)
+Select the first item of the previous/next 'page' of items.
+.TP
+.B Home/End (Mod1-g/Mod1-G)
+Select the first/last item.
+.TP
+.B Tab (Control-i)
 Copy the selected item to the input field.
 .TP
-Return
-Confirm selection and quit (print the selected item to stdout).
+.B Return (Control-j)
+Confirm selection and quit (print the selected item to standard output). Returns
+.B 0
+on termination.
 .TP
-Shift-Return
-Confirm selection and quit (print the text in the input field to stdout).
+.B Shift-Return (Control-Shift-j)
+Confirm selection and quit (print the text in the input field to standard output).
+Returns
+.B 0
+on termination.
 .TP
-Escape
-Quit without selecting an item.
+.B Escape (Control-bracketleft)
+Quit without selecting an item. Returns
+.B 1
+on termination.
 .TP
-Backspace (Control-h)
+.B Backspace (Control-h)
 Remove enough characters from the input field to change its filtering effect.
 .TP
-Control-u
+.B Control-u
 Remove all characters from the input field.
-.P
-.B dmenu
-returns
-.B 0
-if Return is pressed on termination,
-.B 1
-if Escape is pressed.
-.SH CUSTOMIZATION
-.B dmenu
-is customized by creating a custom config.h and (re)compiling the source
-code. This keeps it fast, secure and simple.
