 # command.nvim
 
-command.nvim is a simple command runner. You give it a command and it runs it in a new or existing pane of your multiplexer (or a ToggleTerm terminal). It remembers the last command so it can repeat it. It can run the current file as is or a custom command depending on rules (see Rules section). If the current file is not executable, it asks if you want to make it executable.

-# Usage
+## Usage
 
 Setup keymaps for each action that you want to use. For example using lua:
 
 ```lua
 local map = vim.keymap.set
-map('n','<leader>ct', require('command').change_direction, { desc = '[c]ommand [t]oggle pane direction' })
-map('n','<leader>cc', require('command').run_command,      { desc = '[c]ommand shell [c]ommand'         })
-map('n','<leader>cr', require('command').run_current_file, { desc = '[c]ommand [r]un current file'      })
-map('n','<leader>cl', require('command').run_last_command, { desc = '[c]ommand repeat [l]ast command'   })
+map('n','<leader>ct', require('command').ChangeDirection, {
+    desc = 'Toggles direction of opening panes for running commands' })
+map('n','<leader>cc', require('command').Run,             {
+    desc = 'Show prompt for a command to run'         })
+map('n','<leader>cr', require('command').CurrentFile,     {
+    desc = 'Run the current file, if not executable, ask whether to make executable and run'      })
+map('n','<leader>cl', require('command').LastCommand,     {
+    desc = 'Repeat last action'   })
 ```
 
-## User Commands
-
-You can also use the following user commands instead of the exported lua functions.
-
-- `:CommandChangeDirection`
-    Toggles pane direction for running commands
-
-- `:CommandRun`
-    Show prompt to ask for a command to run
-
-- `:CommandFile`
-    Runs current file
-
-- `:CommandLast`
-    Runs last command
-
-## Multiplexers & Backends
+Or use the user commands:
 
-### tmux & wezterm
+```vim
+:Command ChangeDirection
+:Command Run
+:Command CurrentFile
+:Command LastCommand
+```
 
-The tmux and wezterm backends both have 2 built in pane directions, right of the editor pane, and below the editor pane.
+## Configuration
 
-### ToggleTerm
+Configurations is done by passing setting the `vim.g.command` table.
 
-The ToggleTerm backend does not support toggling different pane directions, it uses the direction configured in ToggleTerm's setup.
+```lua
+vim.g.command = {--[[ options go here ]]} )
+```
 
-# Configuration
+### Backends
 
-Configurations is done by passing `opts` to the setup function.
+The backend is the multiplexer or terminal to use. It's controlled by the `use` key in the options table.
+If the `use` key is unset, as it is by default, heuristics are used to pick on of the supported backends.
 
-```lua
-require('command.nvim').setup( {--[[ your options here ]]} )
-```
+* If `$TMUX` is set, tmux is used.
 
-## Backends
+* Else if `wezterm(?.exe)` exists in `$PATH`, wezterm is used.
 
-The backend is the multiplexer or terminal to use. It's controlled by the `use` key in the opts table.
+* Else if toggleterm's module can be `require()`'ed, toggleterm is used.
 
 ```lua
-opts = {
-    --- the backend to use, one of:
     --- @alias backend_used
-    --- | 'auto' -- pick automatically by examining environment vars
     --- | 'tmux'
     --- | 'wezterm'
     --- | 'toggleterm'
-	use = "auto",
-}
+    use = nil
 ```

+
 
-## Rules
+### Rules
 
 Rules are key-value pairs of lua patterns and functions.
-They are passed into the `setup()` function through the opts table.
 
 ```lua
 opts = {
+    --- @alias rule table<string, fun(string?):string>
 	rules = {
         -- run the current file with `nvim -l` if it ends with '.lua'
 		[".*%.lua"] = function(filepath)
@@ -106,29 +118,30 @@ opts = {
 }
 ```
 
-The lua pattern is matched against the current filename. The function must accept an optional argument and return a string. The optional argument will contain the filepath to the current file. The return value will be the shell command to be run when the name of the current file matches the pattern.
+The lua pattern is compared against the current filename, if it maches the function is run to get the shell command and run it.

+The function can accept an optional argument that will contain the filepath to the current file.
