+# ghostty config
+
+SDG-OS ships with a ghostty config that syncs your theme with DMS, sets ghostty to use zsh and configure some basic keybinds for multi-window:
+ctrl+arrow keys for splitting the pane
+ctrl+r to reload the config
+
+you can exit a pane by simply typing exit. panes are auto-focused with the mouse and can be resized using mouse drags. 
+
+# zsh config
+
+zsh is set up with a couple of interesting tweaks:
+
+eza replaces the standard ls command and zoxide replaces the cd command, allowing you to more easily navigate your system.
+
+find has been replaced with a fzf implementation, and the command microfind will automatically open the selected file in micro. both of these have previews.
+
+lastly, zsh also has some suffix aliasses, which allow you to open specific filetypes in their prefered program by just entering the file as the command. 
+
+# installer TUIs
+
+SDG-OS comes with installer TUIs for both pacman and the AUR
+
+these can be spawned with super+y for pacman or super+shift+y for AUR
+
+alternatively, you can open them in the terminal using `pacgui` and `aurgui`

 anyone with an SDGCloud account can work on forks of this repository and send code in for review, just shoot me a message if you have something interesting for the config and i'll take a look at it!
