SEQUENCE is the character sequence to bind to. These should be written as
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="index.html#escapes">fish escape sequences</a>. For example, because pressing

|
the Alt key and another character sends that character prefixed with

an escape character, Alt-based key bindings can be written using the

|
|
|
|
\c \\e escape. For example, Alt-w can be written as

using the \c \\c escape, for example Control-x (^X) can be written as

The default key binding can be set by specifying a SEQUENCE of the empty
|
|
|
|
|
string (that is, <code>''</code>). It will be used whenever no
|
2007-09-28 21:36:54 +00:00
|
|
|
other binding matches. For most key bindings, it makes sense to use
|
|
|
|
|
the \c self-insert function (i.e. <tt>bind '' self-insert</tt> as the
|
2013-04-13 21:17:19 +00:00

|
|
default keybinding. This will insert any keystrokes not specifically

bound to into the editor. Non-printable characters are ignored by the

If the -k switch is used, the name of the key (such as down, up or
|
|
|
|
|
backspace) is used instead of a sequence. The names used are the same

|
|

as the corresponding curses variables, but without the 'key_'

COMMAND can be any fish command, but it can also be one of a set of
|
|
|
|
|
special input functions. These include functions for moving the
|
|
|
|
|
cursor, operating on the kill-ring, performing tab completion,
|
2007-09-28 21:36:54 +00:00
|
|
|
etc. Use 'bind --function-names' for a complete list of these input
|
|
|
|
|
functions.

When COMMAND is a shellscript command, it is a good practice to put
|
|
|
|
|
the actual code into a <a href="#function">function</a> and simply
|
2007-09-28 21:36:54 +00:00
|
|
|
bind to the function name. This way it becomes significantly easier to
|
|
|
|
|
test the function while editing, and the result is usually more
|
|
|
|
|
readable as well.

Key bindings are not saved between sessions by default. To save custom

keybindings, edit the \c fish_user_key_bindings function and insert the
