+
+### `keybindings`
+
 Each entry maps a vault field to a [rofi key name](https://davatorium.github.io/rofi/current/rofi-keys.5/). Available fields: `password`, `username`, `totp`, `name`.
 
 The **first** entry is bound to rofi's accept key (`kb-accept-entry`). Additional entries become custom keybindings (`kb-custom-1`, `kb-custom-2`, …).
 
+### `rbw_path`
+
+By default, `bw-menu` calls `rbw` from `$PATH`. If `rbw` is not on your PATH (e.g. when launching via `swaymsg exec`), set `rbw_path` to the full path of the binary.
+
