ELINKSKEYS(5)		      ELinks keybindings		 ELINKSKEYS(5)

NAME
       elinkskeys - keybindings	for ELinks

SYNOPSIS
       Information on how to configure keybinding and overview of the default
       keybindings.

DESCRIPTION
       Key binding for elinks should be	placed in the file
       ~/.elinks/elinks.conf. Note that	any information	regarding their
       format/structure	may not	be up-to-date. If you will discover that,
       please feed us with a patch.

       Key binding statements are of the form:

	   bind	<keymap> <keystroke> = <action>
       where:

       <keymap>
	   is main, edit, or menu. The main keymap is used for general
	   browsing. The edit keymap is	used for editing text fields. The menu
	   keymap is used for navigating menus.

       <keystroke>
	   is a	case sensitive key, which you can prefix with Ctrl- or Alt-.
	   Ctrl- must be followed by an	uppercase key. See below for a list of
	   valid keys.

       <action>
	   is what the key should do. The actions available are	dependent on
	   the keymap, and are listed separately below.
       All words/strings may all be quoted "like so". Backslashes are escape
       characters, even	if not between quotes. Lines beginning with a hash
       character (#) are comments.

       Keys can	be unbound just	by binding them	to the special none action. It
       may be of use if	you accidentally type a	key often.

EXAMPLE	BINDINGS
       Some sample keybindings:

	   bind	"main" "v" = "view-image"
	   bind	"main" "l" = "jump-to-link"
	   bind	"main" "L" = "link-menu"
	   bind	"main" "F10" = "file-menu"
	   bind	"main" "F9" = "menu"
	   bind	"main" "Escape"	= "menu"
	   bind	"edit" "Ctrl-R"	= "auto-complete-unambiguous"
	   bind	"edit" "Ctrl-W"	= "auto-complete"
	   bind	"edit" "Ctrl-K"	= "kill-to-eol"
	   bind	"menu" "Ctrl-B"	= "page-up"
	   bind	"menu" "PageUp"	= "page-up"
	   bind	"menu" "Ctrl-F"	= "page-down"
	   bind	"menu" "PageDown" = "page-down"
	   # ELinks with Lua support
	   bind	"main" "," = "lua-console"

KEYS
       Valid keys are: alphanumeric characters,	punctuation, Enter, Backspace,
       Tab, Escape, Left, Right, Up, Down, Insert, Delete, Home, End, PageUp,
       PageDown, F1 to F12.

       Some keys will need to be quoted	or escaped. For	example, space can be
       written as " " (quote space quote), and the quote itself	as \"
       (backslash quote). Backslash can	be written as \\ (double backslash).

       Mediavilla. You can thank Petr Baudis for the subtle requests for
       documentation. Updated by Zas. Moved to asciidoc	format and cleaned up
       by Jonas	Fonseca.
