+## FAQ
+
+### Using bb to Change Directory
+
+Applications cannot change the shell's working directory on their own, but you
+can define a shell function that uses the shell's builtin `cd` function on the
+output of `bb -d` (print directory on exit). For bash (or sh, zsh, etc.), you can
+put the following function in your `~/.profile` (or `~/.bashrc`, `~/.zshrc`,
+etc.):
+
+```bash
+function bcd() { cd "$(bb -d "$@" <$TTY)"; }
+```
+
+For [fish](https://fishshell.com/) (v3.0.0+), you can put this in your
+`~/.config/fish/functions/`:
+
+```fish
+function bcd; cd (bb -d $argv); end
+```
+
+In both versions, the directory will not change if `bb` exits with failure
+(e.g. by pressing `Ctrl-c`).
+
+### Launching bb with a Keyboard Shortcut
+
+Using a keyboard shortcut to launch `bb` from the shell is something that is
+handled by your shell. Here are some examples for binding `Ctrl-b` to launch
+`bb` and change directory to `bb`'s directory (using the `bcd` function defined
+above). For sh and bash, put this in your `~/.profile`:
+
+```bash
+function bcd() { cd "$(bb -d "$@" <$TTY)"; }
+bind '"\C-b":"bcd\n"'
+```
+
+For zsh, instead put this in your `~/.zshrc`:
+
+```zsh
+bcd() { cd "$(bb -d "$@" <$TTY)"; }
+zle -N bcd
+bindkey '^B' bcd
+```
+
+For fish, put this in your `~/.config/fish/functions/fish_user_key_bindings.fish`:
+
+```fish
+function bcd; cd (bb -d $argv <$TTY); end
+bind \cB 'bcd; commandline -f repaint'
+```
