  • NAME
      elinkskeys - keybindings for ELinks
  • DESCRIPTION


      Key bindings for  elinks  should be placed in a file called ~/.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.
      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 "none" action.  It may be of use if you accidentally type a key often.
  • 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).
