 # Project: Agnostic scratchpad/dropdown terminal that works on most window managers
 
+# Dependencies: wmctrl, xprop, xdo, xdotool
+# NOTE: Ensure script is included in system's path and can therefore be invoked with the command 'scratchpad'.
+#       Furthermore make sure the terminal is using x11 as a backend in wayland to allow this to work.
+# example: wezterm.lua: enable_wayland = false,
+#          kitty.conf: linux_display_server x11
+
 # Set the GDK_BACKEND and QT_QPA_PLATFORM environment variables to x11 to allow working in Wayland
 export GDK_BACKEND=x11
 export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb
