Key Bindings

Sometimes you want instant action but you won't know when till it happens, this means your actions won't be of much help. ofcourse you could make an alias with a short name so it wouldn't take too long to type. Well if that is the case, a better solution would be to bind a key to a list of commands.

Let us take a relatively simple example. I do not want to go into too much details since that has already been covered in the previous pages.

Keycombination: Place the cursor here and then press the desired key combination for this keybinding. Most keys can be combined with one or more of the following: Alt, Ctrl and Shift . Keybindings have to be unique since you can only map one command to one keycombination.

Commands: Like with aliases, actions, substitutes and everything else that has a command field attached, this is where you type the commands you want executed once the keybinding is hit. Remember to end the commands with a newline if you want the command executed imediately. In this case commands will be send to the mud like with aliases, but as always scripts can change the default buffer or just execute commands that has no output. This command will call an internal function to bring up the FTM with the aliases node open.
