Hi there and thank you for creating SOV. How can I use it?

I have installed sov under EndeavourOS (Arch-based distro) and think to have configured correctly the relevant sway files. Waybar launches fine and now, how do I use SOV?

In the command line, I get :

❯ sov
Sway Overview v0.92b by Milan Toth ( www.milgra.com )
If you like this app try :
- Wayland Control Panel ( github.com/milgra/wcp )
- Visual Music Player (github.com/milgra/vmp)
- Multimedia File Manager (github.com/milgra/mmfm)
- SwayOS (swayos.github.io)
Games :
- Brawl (github.com/milgra/brawl)
- Cortex ( github.com/milgra/cortex )
- Termite (github.com/milgra/termite)

style path    : /usr/share/sov
css path      : /usr/share/sov/html/main.css
html path     : /usr/share/sov/html/main.html
image path    : /usr/share/sov/img
ratio         : 8
anchor        :
margin        : 0
timeout       : 0
columns       : 5
use_name      : false

I cannot see if there is a default key combination.

I found it ! Well, if possible, please emphasize the part of the text in the ReadMe :

The common usage of Sway overview is to bound its appereance to the desktop switcher button with a little latency.

And maybe clearly state :

That is : keep any of the number keys pressed down while selecting a specific workspace and the overview will appear.

Thank you again!
