-    Kanshi uses a configuration file and a list of available displays to choose 
-    the right settings for each display. It's useful if your window manager 
-    doesn't support multiple display configurations (e.g. i3/Sway).
-    
-    For now, it only supports:
-    - sysfs as backend
-    - udev as notifier (optional)
-    - Configuration file
-      - GNOME (~/.config/monitors.xml)
-      - Kanshi (see below)
-    - Sway as frontend
+    longDescription = ''
+      kanshi allows you to define output profiles that are automatically enabled
+      and disabled on hotplug. For instance, this can be used to turn a laptop's
+      internal screen off when docked.
+
+      kanshi can be used on Wayland compositors supporting the
+      wlr-output-management protocol.
