screen: Bindkey
14.5 Bindkey
============
-- Command: bindkey [OPTS] [STRING [CMD ARGS]]
(none)
This command manages screen's input translation tables. Every
entry in one of the tables tells screen how to react if a certain
sequence of characters is encountered. There are three tables: one
that should contain actions programmed by the user, one for the
default actions used for terminal emulation and one for screen's
copy mode to do cursor movement. See ⇒Input Translation for
a list of default key bindings.
If the '-d' option is given, bindkey modifies the default table,
'-m' changes the copy mode table and with neither option the user
table is selected. The argument 'string' is the sequence of
characters to which an action is bound. This can either be a fixed
string or a termcap keyboard capability name (selectable with the
'-k' option).
Some keys on a VT100 terminal can send a different string if
application mode is turned on (e.g. the cursor keys). Such keys
have two entries in the translation table. You can select the
application mode entry by specifying the '-a' option.
The '-t' option tells screen not to do inter-character timing. One
cannot turn off the timing if a termcap capability is used.
'cmd' can be any of screen's commands with an arbitrary number of
'args'. If 'cmd' is omitted the key-binding is removed from the
table.
