 To open a chat window to confer with your ai-bot in chatmode, you can easily
 open a chatwindow to the left of your main window. To do so, press
 `Ctrl+<prefix> a`. To close the window, press `Ctrl+d`.
+
+## Building
+
+Sometime you want to bulild your project. In this configuration a key-binding is
+added to the F9 key. Pressing `Ctrl+<prefix> F9` will run a make-script that
+tests (in order) for the following build-systems:
+
+- [WAF](https://waf.io)
+- [Cargo](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-build.html)
+- [CMake](https://cmake.org/)
+- [Automake](https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/)
+
+The process will open a popup window, in which the build is performed. After the
+build stops, the window will stay open until a key is pressed.
+
+## Launch different editor layouts
+
+The configuration comes with a script named `hxi`, which is installed into the
+` ~/.local/bin` folder. When the script is started, it launches a new tmux
+session with a randomised name. In this session, an editor is opened, with the
+given parameters. Then the script looks for a file named `.tmux.layout`, which
+needs to be an executeable script file. It then sources the file. and finally
+attaches to the session, that was created. The sourced `.tmux.layout` file can
+be used to create an individual layout for the project folder you're in,
+creating new windows and panes, as needed.
