 The module currently configures task-group shortcut behavior, touchpad hold-tap
 timing and output, and the experimental fingerprint workaround.

+Installed packages are discovered independently of repository metadata, so
+locally installed tools appear even before they are published. Tools with their
+own settings window can register it by installing
+`/usr/share/fedora-tools/settings/PACKAGE-NAME.json`:
+
+```json
+{"command": ["/usr/bin/example-tool", "--settings"]}
+```
+
+The Configure button launches this command as the current user, without a
+shell or administrator privileges. This registration needs no tool-specific
+change to the settings module. The package must provide `fedora-tools-tool`;
+arbitrary installed applications are not included in this list.

 Installing this module does not install or activate any other tool. Tools
 remain usable without the module.
