+The `zulip_key`contains only the api_key.

 - an `[api]` section with information required to connect to your Zulip server
 - a `[zterm]` section with configuration specific to `zulip-term`

 above). Parts of the second section can be added and adjusted in stages when
 you wish to customize the behavior of `zulip-term`.
 
+If you’re downloading the config file from your Zulip account, you should replace the `key` field with `passcmd`, setting its value to a command that outputs the api_key (e.g., cat zulip_key). If you’re not downloading it manually, zulip-term will configure this for you automatically, though it’s recommended to update the passcmd value afterward for better security.

 The example below, with dummy `[api]` section contents, represents a working
 configuration file with all the default compatible `[zterm]` values uncommented
 and with accompanying notes:
