+### Hooks
+Tdrop provides a `--create-hook` flag that can be used to run a command after first creating the dropdown. A `$1` in the given command will be replaced with the window id for the dropdown (in this case the command will of course need to be in single quotes or the dollar sign escaped). For example, to set a dropdown as always on top, `-c 'wmctrl -i -r $1 -b add,above'` could be added to a tdrop command.
+
+I plan to remove the current `-p`, `-P`, `-M`, and `-O` flags and replace them with generic hooks. Currently these options are only useful for dealing with floating/moving/resizing as they override settings made by `-a`. After this change, the new settings will still be able to be used for this purpose, but the idea is to have tdrop deal with these things automatically using `-a`. I will also provide a way to have the settings for another window manager be used as a simpler initial workaround for tdrop not yet having settings for some window manager.

 ### Auto-hiding
 In addition to creating dropdowns, tdrop can automatically hide a window and later un-hide it. For example, if gvim is opened to write a git commit message from the terminal, tdrop can automatically hide the terminal (dropdown or not) and restore it after the user is finished writing the commit message:
