+### Format
+
+    bindsym [--release] [--locked] <Modifiers><Keysyms> <command>
+    bindcode [--release] [--locked] <Modifiers><Keycodes> <command>
+
+### How to identify keys
+
+If you have `xev` available, run `xev -event keyboard` to find the translated keysyms and keycodes
+corresponding to a given key press or release.
+
+A list of keysym names can be found in the `xkbcommon-keysyms.h` header file, usually
+located in `/usr/include/xkbcommon/`. 
+
+On Linux, scancode ids are often available in the `linux/input-event-codes.h` header; the
+xkb keycodes are typically `scancode + 8`.
+
+### Examples
+    
+    # These two shortcuts are equivalent
+    bindsym Ctrl+Shift+1 restart
+    bindsym Ctrl+exclam restart
+
+    # As are these
+    bindsym Ctrl+q+p exit
+    bindsym Ctrl+p+q exit
+
+    # When the <ESC> key is pressed, switch to workspace "F"
+    bindcode 9 workspace F
+
+    # When the right shift key is released, run the program `false`
+    bindcode --release Shift_R exec false
+
+    # When all modifiers but Caps Lock are active, and keys A
+    # through G, 1 through 5 are pressed simultaneously, exit
+    bindsym Mod5+Mod4+Mod3+Mod2+Mod1+Shift+Ctrl+a+b+c+d+e+f+g+1+2+3+4+5 exit
+
+### Caveats
+
+Pressing multiple keys which would result in the same modifier change if pressed alone 
+(such as `Shift_L` and `Shift_R` on US keyboards) may trigger bindings like `bindsym Shift+Shift_R`,
+possibly contrary to expectation.
