Usage

-Hotkeys
-=======
+Adding and renaming functions
+=============================
+
+Functions can be added by entering an address -- this functionality is
+available from the context-menu on the function-list widget as well as
+the f hot-key. Frida will the recursively disassembler all functions
+directly reachable from this entry point.
+
+To rename the currently selected function use the r Hot-key. You can
+also rename functions from the context-menu of the individual items in
+the function list (by default located on the left side).
+
+Adding comments
+===============
+
+You have the choice of adding "local" and "global" comments. Global
+comments add information intended for human observers to an address
+and are displayed at that address. Local comments are supposed to be
+meaningful only in the context of the specific function but not when
+the same address appears within different functions. However, local
+functions are not completely implemented yet.
+
+Within comments, special placeholders exist. This way functions (and,
+later, other objects cann be referenced in a way that automatically
+updates the displayed string inside the comment. The syntax for a
+function reference is ``#F<0xABCD1234>``.
+
+Saving progress
+===============
+
+Files saved by frida are standalone. They can be opened and used by
+frida on the same or a different computer and do *not* require the
+original binary to be available on that machine. Function names as
+well as the CFG are preserved, however the textual representation and
+the graph layout are reconstructed when opening the saved file.
