Documentation Key mapping directives and defaults

[Steve Fabian]

Most of the directive names for key mapping are documented, as well as most of the default key actions, but "never the twain shall meet" - there is no matching of key functions to directive names. It would be nice if
1/ the tables of directive names and functions in the four subsections of "Key Mapping Directives" included the default keys
2/ in the commands which enumerate default keys and their functions, e.g., LIST, included the key mapping directives for each

Without this information it is difficult to map an alternate key to a key function, and to unmap default keys.

Steve, if ever the wiki is resurrected, I'm nominating you for editor-in-chief!

 

[Steve Fabian]

Charles, you contributed to another thread today whose topic was key mapping. My request arose from the research related to that thread.

Wiki resurrected? Did I miss something? (quite likely!).

No, the idea was hypothetical. Like leprechauns-riding-unicorns hypothetical.
