+# M-x breadcrumb-mode
+
+![screenshot](./screenshot.png)
+
+## Usage
+
+Breadcrumbs are sequences of short strings indicating where you are in
+some big tree-like maze that is probably your code.  Hopefully the
+screenshot above clears it up.
+
+* `M-x breadcrumb-mode` is global mode.  Will try to turn itself on
+  conservatively and only if there's a project.
+
+* `M-x breadcrumb-local-mode` is a buffer-local minor mode, if you
+  don't want the default heuristics for turning it on everywhere.
+   
+There's not much more to it.  Breadcrumb will try to query `imenu.el`
+and `project.el` for the best information.
+
+## Installation
+
+For now, just download the `breadcrumb.el` file and load it somehow.
+
+## More usage
+
+If you want some leet modeline you may also manually put the mode-line
+constructs
+
+```lisp
+(:eval (breadcrumb-imenu-crumbs))
+```
+
+and
+
+```lisp
+(:eval (breadcrumb-project-crumbs))
+```    
+
+in your settings of the `mode-line-format` or `header-line-format`
+variables.
+
+## Tweaks
+
+The shape and size of each breadcrumb groups may be tweaked via
+`breadcrumb-imenu-max-length`, `breadcrumb-project-max-length`,
+`breadcrumb-imenu-crumb-separator`, and
+`breadcrumb-project-crumb-separator`.
+
+The structure each of the breadcrumbs varies depending on whether
+either `project.el` and `imenu.el` (or both) can do useful things for
+your buffer.
+
+For Project breadcrumbs, this depends on whether `project.el`'s
+`project-current` can guess what project the current buffer belongs
+to.
+
+For Imenu breadcrumbs, this varies.  Depending on the major-mode
+author's taste, the Imenu tree (in variable `imenu--index-alist`) may
+have different structure.  Sometimes, minor mode also tweak the Imenu
+tree in useful ways.  For example, with recent Eglot (I think Eglot
+1.14+), managed buffers get extra region info added to it, which makes
+Breadcrumb show "richer" paths.
