Binding Help

# Binding Dialog

Use the binding dialog to change the keybindings for command accelerators. A binding ties an event to a Tcl command.

## Event Syntax

- Any sequence like <Meta-x> also results in a binding for <Escape><x>
- Case is significant in the keywords Control, Meta, Shift, Key, BackSpace, etc.
- Multiple keystrokes can be bound to the same command. Separate them with a space, e.g.: <BackSpace> <Prior>

## Changing a Binding

- Edit the keystrokes for the existing commands in each entry widget.
- Press <Return> in the entry and the change takes effect right away. Or, click the Save button, which makes the dialog go away, too.

## Defining a New Accelerator

The Define button and the entries at the top are used for new commands. For example, to make <Control-z> close the window, enter
Command: `wm iconify .`
Key: `<Control-z>`
and then press the Define button.

## Deleting a Binding

Delete bindings by clearing the associated entry and pressing Return.

Your settings are saved in ~/.exmh/exmhbindings
