 The tool for reading the config file is configparser, a python library. The syntax of configs can be seen in the example file.
 Syntax of config is very straightforwards and easy to use. 
 Note that for every gesture, a new section name (name in `[]`) should be created. All options are required to be filled out or an error would be thrown when executing the gesture. Comments must be placed after a line, in line comments will also be read into the config 
+The gesture can either be a command or a keyboard shortcut, this is specified in `action_type` field of the config file.
+For a list of valid keys, see [documentation of pyautogui](https://pyautogui.readthedocs.io/en/latest/keyboard.html)
