\section bind bind - handle key bindings
\subsection bind-synopsis Synopsis
bind [OPTIONS] [BINDINGS...]
The bind builtin causes fish to add the readline style bindings specified by BINDINGS to the list of key bindings, as if they appeared in your ~/.fish_inputrc file.
For more information on the syntax keyboard bindings, use man
readline to access the readline documentation. The available commands
are listed in the Command Line Editor section
of the fish manual - but you may also use any fish command! To write such
commands, see the commandline builtin. It's good
practice to put the code into a function -b
and bind to the function name.
