Can the README be updated to include more information on how to use and configure this plugin? #3

Please excuse all following noob questions.

Fortunately, I installed this through PackageControl so at least a blank ini was placed in the correct location but I'm not sure about the python file. Where does this go and what's it for? How is it used?

I admit it took me a bit to figure out that the installed blank ini needed to filled in with the info in this repository because I didn't check it. (Did I mention the noob thing?) The README instructions just say to add the path to the database, which I also needed to figure out where that was though it didn't take long. I'm just saying, a little more info would be helpful. =]

For instance:

If installing through PackageControl: Enter the full path to the database in the user version of ditto.ini type "Configure Package: Ditto" into Keypirinha to open the configuration files

This will open the blank ditto.ini file so that the ditto.ini info from this repository can be pasted into it. Then the path %AppData%\Ditto\Ditto.db (or wherever your database file is located) can be placed into it. Search for 'database' (CTRL+F) or just look under [main] ... (uncomment first by removing the # symbol) "database_file = ".

If not installing via PackageControl (aka manually): Copy the ditto.ini from this repository & place into: %APPDATA%\Keypirinha\User\ditto.ini Follow the above instructions to enter the full path to the database in the user version of ditto.ini.

Add info regrading the Python file.

Maybe add usage info. For instance, what does this mean? Should the plugin always suggest candidates if their content matches the search terms?

The fact that it can be installed through PackageControl could also be added. Others include something like this: @ueffel wrote PackageControl, a package manager that eases installation of third-party packages. It can be installed manually or through Keypirinha's command line. https://github.com/ueffel/Keypirinha-PackageControl

Thanks!
