## File Completion
-In run and drun you can add a file argument to the executable by pressing
-`Control-l` (In drun this only works, if the desktop file indicates that the
-application supports this.)
-
+In rofi 1.7.0 a long awaited patch I wrote many years ago landed into the rofi.
+This patch adds some basic completion support by changing modi. Currently it
+only supports chaining the FileBrowser mode. This allows you to launch an
+application with a file as argument. This is currently supported in the Run
+and the DRun modi by pressing the `Control-l` keybinding. For the Run mode it
+will add it as first argument, in DRun it only works if the Desktop file
+indicates support for this.

+This is not the final implementation, but a first investigation in how to

## Timeout actions
