+;;; term-switcher.el --- Easily switch between open X11 terminals
+;;
+;; Copyright (C) 2019 Google Inc.
+;;
+;; Author: Vincent Ambo <tazjin@google.com>
+;; Version: 1.0
+;; Package-Requires: (dash ivy s)
+;;
+;;; Commentary:
+;;
+;; This package adds a function that lets users quickly switch between
+;; different open X11 terminals using ivy.
+;;
+;; It is primarily intended to be used by EXWM users who use graphical
+;; terminals inside of Emacs.
+;;
+;; Users MUST configure the group `term-switcher' and can then bind
+;; `ts/switch-to-terminal' to an appropriate key.
