elinkskeys(5) ============= :Description: ELinks keybindings 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 `~/.config/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 = where: :: 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. :: is a case sensitive key, which you can prefix with 'Ctrl-', 'Alt-', or both. 'Ctrl-' must be followed by an uppercase key. See below for a list of valid keys. :: 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). ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FIXME: - You may prefix each of these keys with a number, telling its repeat count (how many times to do it). You can also re-bind keys, see elinkskeys(5) for documentation and a more complete list of keys bound by default. - The following keys can be used while editing a line/jumping to a URL ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// KEYMAP ACTIONS -------------- include::{builddir}keymap-actions.txt[] DEFAULT BINDINGS ---------------- The default bindings are shown below. Any bindings in `~/.config/elinks/elinks.conf` will override these. include::{builddir}keymap-defaults.txt[] AUTHOR ------ This manual page was finally written by Peter Wang (one and a half years after writing the binding code), using excerpts by David 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. SEE ALSO -------- man:elinks[1], man:elinks.conf[5]
