===== Default Keybindings =====

None.

===== Syntax =====

  * ''**markkeys** //string//''

===== Description =====

This is a method of changing the keymap used for ''[[commands:copy]]''/history mode.  The //string// is made up of ''oldchar=newchar'' pairs which are separated by ''':'''.

===== Examples =====

The string "''B=^B:F=^F''" will change the keys '''C-b''' and '''C-f''' to the ''vi'' style binding (scroll up/down fill page).  This happens to be the default binding for '''B''' and '''F'''.

The command "''markkeys h=^B:l=^F:$=^E''" would set the mode for an ''emacs''-style binding.

If your terminal sends characters that cause you to abort copy mode, then this command may help by binding these characters to do nothing.  The no-op character is '''@''' and is used like this:  "''markkeys @=L=H''" if you do not want to use the '''H''' or '''L''' keys to do anything.  As shown in this example, multiple keys can be assigned to one function in a single statement.
