 +====== bind ======
 +
 +===== Default Keybindings =====
 +
 +None.
 +
 +===== Syntax =====
 +
 +  * ''**bind** [-c //class//] //key// [//command// [//args//]]''
 +
 +===== Description =====
 +
 +Bind a command to a key.  By default, most of the commands provided by
 +screen are bound to one or more keys as indicated in the [[man:Default Key
 +Bindings]] section, e.g. the command to create a new window is bound to
 +"''C-c''" and "''c''".  The ''bind'' command can be used to redefine the
 +key bindings and to define new bindings.  The //key// argument is either a
 +single character, a two-character sequence of the form "''^x''" (meaning
 +"''C-x''"), a backslash followed by an octal number (specifying the ASCII
 +code of the character), or a backslash followed by a second character,
 +such as "''\^''" or "''\\''".  The argument can also be quoted, if you
 +like.  If no further argument is given, any previously established binding
 +for this key is removed.  The //command// argument can be any ''screen''
 +command.
 +
 +If a command class is specified via the ''-c'' option, the key is bound
 +for the specified class.  Use the ''[[commands:command]]'' command to
 +activate a class.  Command classes can be used to create multiple command
 +keys or multi-character bindings.
 +
 +===== Examples =====
 +
 +<code>
 +bind ’ ’ windows
 +bind ^k
 +bind k
 +bind K kill
 +bind ^f screen telnet foobar
 +bind \033 screen -ln -t root -h 1000 9 su
 +</code>
 +
 +binds the space key to the command that displays a list of windows (so
 +that the command usually invoked by "''[[commands:windows|C-a C-w]]''"
 +would also be available as "''C-a space''").  The next three lines remove
 +the default kill binding from "''C-a C-k''" and "''C-a k''".  "''C-a K''"
 +is then bound to the ''[[commands:kill]]'' command.  Then it binds "''C-a
 +C-f''" to the command "create a window with a TELNET connection to foobar"
 +(c.f. [[man:Window Types]]), and binds "escape" to a command that creates
 +a non-login window with a.k.a. "root" in slot #9, with a superuser shell
 +and a scrollback buffer of 1000 lines (c.f. ''[[commands:screen]]'').
 +
 +<code>
 +bind -c demo1 0 select 10
 +bind -c demo1 1 select 11
 +bind -c demo1 2 select 12
 +bindkey "^B" command -c demo1
 +</code>
 +
 +makes "''C-b 0''" select window 10, "''C-b 1''" window 11, etc.
 +
 +<code>
 +bind -c demo2 0 select 10
 +bind -c demo2 1 select 11
 +bind -c demo2 2 select 12
 +bind - command -c demo2
 +</code>
 +
 +makes "''C-a - 0''" select window 10, "''C-a - 1''" window 11, etc.
