 ## Usage
 
-This module gives you some special syntax to make your event handlers more declarative and functional. You can create handlers for only certain keypresses, or easily attach multiple handlers to a single event.

 This example calls `updateText` with every keydown event, but also calls `submit` only when enter is pressed:

 function render () {

 This will close the input and submit when `enter` is pressed, it will also update the text on every normal keydown.
+If your descriptor is an object, the 'default' key will match every event:
