9 Information on how to configure keybinding and overview of the default
10 keybindings.
11
14 Key binding for elinks should be placed in the file
15 ~/.elinks/elinks.conf. Note that any information regarding their for‐
16 mat/structure may not be up-to-date. If you will discover that, please
17 feed us with a patch.
18 Key binding statements are of the form:
21 bind <keymap> <keystroke> = <action>
23 where:
26 <keymap>
29 is main, edit, or menu. The main keymap is used for general
30 browsing. The edit keymap is used for editing text fields. The
31 menu keymap is used for navigating menus.
32 <keystroke>
35 is a case sensitive key, which you can prefix with Ctrl- or
36 Alt-. Ctrl- must be followed by an uppercase key. See below for
37 a list of valid keys.
38 <action>
41 is what the key should do. The actions available are dependent
42 on the keymap, and are listed separately below.
43 All words/strings may all be quoted "like so". Backslashes are
46 escape characters, even if not between quotes. Lines beginning
47 with a hash character (#) are comments.
48 Keys can be unbound just by binding them to the special none
51 action. It may be of use if you accidentally type a key often.
52
55 Some sample keybindings:
56 bind "main" "v" = "view-image"
58 bind "main" "l" = "jump-to-link"
59 bind "main" "L" = "link-menu"
60 bind "main" "F10" = "file-menu"
61 bind "main" "F9" = "menu"
62 bind "main" "Escape" = "menu"
63 bind "edit" "Ctrl-R" = "auto-complete-unambiguous"
64 bind "edit" "Ctrl-W" = "auto-complete"
65 bind "edit" "Ctrl-K" = "kill-to-eol"
66 bind "menu" "Ctrl-B" = "page-up"
67 bind "menu" "PageUp" = "page-up"
68 bind "menu" "Ctrl-F" = "page-down"
69 bind "menu" "PageDown" = "page-down"
70 # ELinks with Lua support
71 bind "main" "," = "lua-console"
72
75 Valid keys are: alphanumeric characters, punctuation, Enter, Backspace,
76 Tab, Escape, Left, Right, Up, Down, Insert, Delete, Home, End, PageUp,
77 PageDown, F1 to F12.
78 Some keys will need to be quoted or escaped. For example, space can be
81 written as " " (quote space quote), and the quote itself as \" (back‐
82 slash quote). Backslash can be written as \\ (double backslash).
