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
16 format/structure may not be up-to-date. If you will discover that,
17 please feed us with a patch.
18 Key binding statements are of the form:
20 bind <keymap> <keystroke> = <action>
23 where:
24 <keymap>
26 is main, edit, or menu. The main keymap is used for general
27 browsing. The edit keymap is used for editing text fields. The menu
28 keymap is used for navigating menus.
29 <keystroke>
31 is a case sensitive key, which you can prefix with Ctrl-, Alt-, or
32 both. Ctrl- must be followed by an uppercase key. See below for a
33 list of valid keys.
34 <action>
36 is what the key should do. The actions available are dependent on
37 the keymap, and are listed separately below.
38 All words/strings may all be quoted "like so". Backslashes are escape
39 characters, even if not between quotes. Lines beginning with a hash
40 character (#) are comments.
41 Keys can be unbound just by binding them to the special none action. It
43 may be of use if you accidentally type a key often.
44
47 Some sample keybindings:
48 bind "main" "v" = "view-image"
51 bind "main" "l" = "jump-to-link"
52 bind "main" "L" = "link-menu"
53 bind "main" "F10" = "file-menu"
54 bind "main" "F9" = "menu"
55 bind "main" "Escape" = "menu"
56 bind "edit" "Ctrl-R" = "auto-complete-unambiguous"
57 bind "edit" "Ctrl-W" = "auto-complete"
58 bind "edit" "Ctrl-K" = "kill-to-eol"
59 bind "menu" "Ctrl-B" = "page-up"
60 bind "menu" "PageUp" = "page-up"
61 bind "menu" "Ctrl-F" = "page-down"
62 bind "menu" "PageDown" = "page-down"
63 # ELinks with Lua support
64 bind "main" "," = "lua-console"
65
67 Valid keys are: alphanumeric characters, punctuation, Enter, Backspace,
68 Tab, Escape, Left, Right, Up, Down, Insert, Delete, Home, End, PageUp,
69 PageDown, F1 to F12.
70 Some keys will need to be quoted or escaped. For example, space can be
72 written as " " (quote space quote), and the quote itself as \"
73 (backslash quote). Backslash can be written as \\ (double backslash).

1048 This manual page was finally written by Peter Wang (one and a half
1049 years after writing the binding code), using excerpts by David
