 A cross-platform "virtual terminal" (VT) manipulation library.
 
-Termina only "speaks text/VT" but aims to work on Windows as well as *NIX. This is made possible by Microsoft's investment into [ConPTY](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/). This means that Termina requires 64-bit Windows 10.0.17763 (released around Fall 2018) or later ([same as WezTerm](https://wezterm.org/install/windows.html)).
+Termina works on Windows as well as *NIX, but Windows requires some extra thought to choose the preferred way of handling input.
 
 Termina is a cross between [Crossterm](https://github.com/crossterm-rs/crossterm) and [TermWiz](https://github.com/wezterm/wezterm/blob/a87358516004a652ad840bc1661bdf65ffc89b43/termwiz/README.md) with a lower level API which exposes escape codes to consuming applications. The aim is to scale well in the long run as terminals introduce VT extensions like the [Kitty Keyboard Protocol](https://sw.kovidgoyal.net/kitty/keyboard-protocol/) or [Contour's Dark/Light mode detection](https://contour-terminal.org/vt-extensions/color-palette-update-notifications/) - requiring minimal changes in Termina and also allowing flexibility in how applications detect and handle these extensions. See `examples/event-read.rs` for a look at a basic API.
 
+## Input handling on Windows
+
+Termina is able to "speak text/VT" on Windows. This is made possible by Microsoft's investment into [ConPTY](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/). This means that this input mode requires 64-bit Windows 10.0.17763 (released around Fall 2018) or later ([same as WezTerm](https://wezterm.org/install/windows.html)). However, using VT mode on Windows
+means the terminal you use needs to support the Kitty Keyboard Protocol in order to handle some complex key combinations.
+Windows Terminal, notably, does not implement this protocol. However, using the VT protocol allows for some newer features to work, such as bracketed paste.
+This means there is no single answer for which protocol to use - it depends on your use case.
+
+See feature comparison below.
