+### Direct Host Connection
+
+SSHM supports direct connection to hosts via the command line, making it easy to integrate into your existing workflow:
+
+```bash
+# Connect directly to any configured host
+sshm production-server
+sshm db-staging
+sshm web-01
+
+# All direct connections are tracked in your history
+# Use the TUI to see your most recently connected hosts
+```
+
+**Features of Direct Connection:**
+- **Instant connection** - No TUI navigation required
+- **History tracking** - All connections are recorded with timestamps
+- **Error handling** - Clear messages if host doesn't exist or configuration issues
+- **Config file support** - Works with custom config files using `-c` flag

+### Advanced Features
+
+#### Host Movement Between Config Files
+
+SSHM provides a powerful `move` command to relocate SSH hosts between different configuration files. **This feature requires SSH Include directives to be present in your SSH configuration.**
+
+```bash
+# Move a host to another config file (requires Include directives)
+sshm move my-server
+
+# Move with custom config file (requires Include directives)
+sshm move my-server -c /path/to/custom/ssh_config
+```
+
+**⚠️ Important Requirements:**
+- **SSH Include directives must be present** in your SSH config file (either `~/.ssh/config` or the file specified with `-c`)
+- The config file must contain `Include` statements referencing other SSH configuration files
+- Without Include directives, the move command will display an error message
+
+**Features:**
+- **Interactive file selector** - Choose destination config file from Include directives
+- **Include support** - Works seamlessly with SSH Include directives structure
+- **Atomic operations** - Safe host movement with automatic backups
+- **Validation** - Prevents conflicts and ensures configuration integrity
+- **Error handling** - Clear messages when Include files are needed but not found
+
+**Use Cases:**
+- Reorganize hosts from main config to specialized include files
+- Move development hosts to separate environment-specific configs
+- Consolidate configurations for better organization
+
+**Example Setup Required:**
+Your main SSH config file must contain Include directives like:
+```ssh
+# ~/.ssh/config
+Include ~/.ssh/config.d/*
+Include work-servers.conf
+Include projects/*.conf
+
+Host personal-server
+    HostName personal.example.com
+    User myuser
+```
+
+#### Real-time Connectivity Status
+
+SSHM features asynchronous SSH connectivity checking that provides visual indicators of host availability:
+
+**Status Indicators:**
+- 🟢 **Online** - SSH connection successful (shows response time)
+- 🟡 **Connecting** - Currently testing connectivity
+- 🔴 **Offline** - SSH connection failed or host unreachable
+- ⚫ **Unknown** - Status not yet determined
+
+**Features:**
+- **Non-blocking checks** - Status updates happen in the background
+- **Response time tracking** - See connection latency for online hosts
+- **Automatic refresh** - Status indicators update continuously
+- **Error details** - Detailed error information for failed connections
+
+#### Automatic Update Checking
+
+SSHM includes built-in version checking that notifies you of available updates:
+
+**Features:**
+- **Background checking** - Version check happens asynchronously
+- **Release notifications** - Clear indicators when updates are available
+- **Pre-release detection** - Identifies beta and development versions
+- **GitHub integration** - Direct links to release pages
+- **Non-intrusive** - Updates don't interrupt your workflow
+
+**Update notifications appear:**
+- In the main TUI interface as a subtle notification
+- In the `sshm --version` command output
+- Only when a newer stable version is available
+
+#### Port Forwarding History
+
+SSHM remembers your port forwarding configurations for easy reuse:
+
+**Features:**
+- **Automatic saving** - Successful forwarding setups are saved automatically
+- **Quick reuse** - Previously used configurations appear as suggestions
+- **Per-host history** - Forwarding history is tracked per SSH host
+- **All forward types** - Supports Local (-L), Remote (-R), and Dynamic (-D) forwarding history
+- **Persistent storage** - History survives application restarts
