+Q: Why can't sled open the file "read only" even if modification is disallowed?
+A: A text editor's purpose should be to *edit* text files. For just *viewing*
+ text files, there's less(1). This avoids the situation when opening a file
+ one is not allowed to write to with an editor like vi(1), only to have write
+ operation denied after making numerous edits.
+
+ Of course, one could argue that screen editors like vi already double as
+ text file viewers, but I think of displaying the contents of a writable file
+ as separate from displaying the contents of a non-writable file.
+
+Q: Is editing multiple files planned?
+A: No, this is by design. You can edit multiple files at the same time by
+ running multiple instances of sled. You can arrange them on screen through a
+ terminal multiplexer like GNU screen(1) or tmux(1), or just open several
+ terminal emulators like st(1) and have your window manager arrange their
+ windows. Clipboard can be managed by a terminal multiplexer or X.Org itself.
+
+Q: Is there a ~/.config/sled/config or ~/.sledrc?
+A: No, and never will be. sled is intended to be configured through editing
+ config.h and recompilation, like suckless software.
+
+Q: Are plugins planned?
+A: No. Like suckless software, sled is meant to be extended through patches.
+
+Q: How can I configure sled, I've installed it (from AUR|through my distro's
+ package manager)?
+A: You don't. If you want customization/configuration, clone the git repo,
+ customize and compile it from source, just like with suckless software.
