+An interactive cheatsheet tool for the command-line
+
+Usage:
+   navi [command] [<args>...] [options]
+
+Commands:
+   search <cmd>             Search for cheatsheets on online repositories
+   query  <cmd>             Pre-filter results
+   best   <cmd> <args>...   Considers the best match
+   widget <shell>           Prints the path for the widget file to be sourced
+
+Options:
+   --print                  Prevent script execution
+   --path                   List of :-separated paths to look for cheats
+   --no-interpolation       Prevent argument interpolation
+   --no-preview             Hide command preview window
+   --fzf-overrides          Overrides for fzf commands [default: --with-nth 3,1,2 --exact]
+   --col-widths             Set column widths [default: 15,50,0]
+
+Environment variables:
+   NAVI_PATH                List of :-separated paths to look for cheats
+   FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS         Default fzf options (e.g. '--layout=reverse')
+
+Examples:
+   navi                                  # default behavior
+   navi --print                          # doesn't execute the snippet
+   navi --path '/some/dir:/other/dir'    # uses custom cheats

+   navi query git                        # filter results by "git"
+   navi best 'sql create db' root mydb   # uses a snippet as a CLI
+   source "$(navi widget zsh)"           # loads the zsh widget
+   navi --col-widths 10,50,0             # limits the first two columns's width
+   navi --fzf-overrides '--with-nth 1,2' # shows only the comment and tag columns
+   navi --fzf-overrides '--nth 1,2'      # search will consider only the first two columns
+   navi --fzf-overrides '--no-exact'     # looser search algorithm
+
+More info:
+
+   search
+      http://cheat.sh is used for cheatsheet retrieval
+      please note that these cheatsheets may not work out of the box
+      always check the preview window before executing commands!
+
+   --col-widths
+      the number is the percentage relative to the terminal width
+      0 means that a column will be as wide as necessary
+
+   fzf's --with-nth
+      1 refers to the comment column; 2, snippet; 3, tag
