+== Configuration
 
 By default, navigation skips over values like nils, numbers and
 keywords, which are not interesting to inspect. You can control this
 behavior using the variable `cider-inspector-skip-uninteresting`.
 
+The inspector buffer is automatically selected by default. You
+can disable the auto selection with the variable
