The package doesn't presume to set keybindings for you, so you may set
those up yourself or simply call functions with =M-x=. All commands
start with =system-packages=
+* Adding other package managers
+It is straightforward to add support for package managers. First, add
+the commands to =system-packages-supported-package-managers= like so:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+ (add-to-list 'system-packages-supported-package-managers
+ '(pacaur .
+ ((default-sudo . nil)
+ (install . "pacaur -S")
+ (search . "pacaur -Ss")
+ (uninstall . "pacaur -Rs")
+ (update . "pacaur -Syu")
+ (clean-cache . "pacaur -Sc")
+ (log . "cat /var/log/pacman.log")
+ (get-info . "pacaur -Qi")
+ (get-info-remote . "pacaur -Si")
+ (list-files-provided-by . "pacaur -Ql")
+ (verify-all-packages . "pacaur -Qkk")
+ (verify-all-dependencies . "pacaur -Dk")
+ (remove-orphaned . "pacaur -Rns $(pacman -Qtdq)")
+ (list-installed-packages . "pacaur -Qe")
+ (list-installed-packages-all . "pacaur -Q")
+ (list-dependencies-of . "pacaur -Qi")
+ (noconfirm . "--noconfirm"))))
+#+END_SRC
+
+You may then need to adjust =system-packages-packagemanager= and
+=system-packages-usesudo= accordingly:
+
+#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
+ (setq system-packages-usesudo t)
+ (setq system-packages-packagemanager "pacaur")
+#+END_SRC
