- Synopsis:
- bind <key> meta1_character
-
- Description:
- This function allows the user to access an alternate keymap. When the
- key bound to this function is pressed, the next key pressed can be
- assigned a new meaning. This allows for a sequence of keys to be bound
- to a function, such that only that combination of keys will execute
- the function. This is how escape sequences are entered.
-
- Aliases:
- META2, META3, and META5 through META19_CHARACTERs are identical
- in function as META1_CHARACTER. META4_CHARACTER has some special
- characteristics described in its own help file.
-
- See Also:
- bind(4) meta4_character
-
- Restrictions:
- At most, key sequences may contain 2 keys. For longer sequences (such
- as those required to control the arrow keys), one of the pair must be
- composed of 2 keys as well.
