+====== 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.
