   show empty workspaces which makes it possible to switch to another output
   currently showing an empty workspace.
 - All menu switching commands (`switch-window`, `switch-workspace`, and
-  `switch-workspace-or-window`) can now create and switch to not yet existing
-  workspaces.  Just type a digit, a name, or `<digit>:<name>`, confirm your
-  input, and it'll do.  The `<digit>:<name>` format is explained in `man 5
-  sway`.  If that format is given, `swayr` will create the workspace using
-  `workspace number <digit>:<name>`.  If just a digit or name is given, the
-  `number` argument is not used.
+  `switch-workspace-or-window`) now handle non-matching input instead of doing
+  nothing.  The input should start with any number of `#` (in order to be able
+  to force a non-match), a shortcut followed by a colon, and some string as
+  required by the shortcut.  The following shortcuts are supported.
+  - `w:<workspace>`: Switches to a possibly non-existing workspace.
+    `<workspace>` must be a digit, a name, or `<digit>:<name>`.  The
+    `<digit>:<name>` format is explained in `man 5 sway`.  If that format is
+    given, `swayr` will create the workspace using `workspace number
+    <digit>:<name>`.  If just a digit or name is given, the `number` argument
+    is not used.
+  - `s:<cmd>`: Executes the sway command `<cmd>` using `swaymsg`.
+  - Any other input is assumed to be a workspace name and thus handled as
+    `w:<input>` would do.
