LESSKEY(1) LESSKEY(1)
[1mNAME[0m
lesskey - specify key bindings for less
[1mSYNOPSIS[0m
[1mlesskey [-o output] [--] [input][0m
[1mlesskey [--output=output] [--] [input][0m
[1mlesskey -V[0m
[1mlesskey --version[0m
[1mDESCRIPTION[0m
[4mLesskey[24m is used to specify a set of key bindings to be used by [4mless.[0m
The input file is a text file which describes the key bindings. If the
input file is "-", standard input is read. If no input file is speci-
fied, a standard filename is used as the name of the input file, which
depends on the system being used: On Unix systems, $HOME/.lesskey is
used; on MS-DOS systems, $HOME/_lesskey is used; and on OS/2 systems
$HOME/lesskey.ini is used, or $INIT/lesskey.ini if $HOME is undefined.
The output file is a binary file which is used by [4mless.[24m If no output
file is specified, and the environment variable LESSKEY is set, the
value of LESSKEY is used as the name of the output file. Otherwise, a
standard filename is used as the name of the output file, which depends
on the system being used: On Unix and OS-9 systems, $HOME/.less is
used; on MS-DOS systems, $HOME/_less is used; and on OS/2 systems,
$HOME/less.ini is used, or $INIT/less.ini if $HOME is undefined. If
the output file already exists, [4mlesskey[24m will overwrite it.
The -V or --version option causes [4mlesskey[24m to print its version number
and immediately exit. If -V or --version is present, other options and
arguments are ignored.
The input file consists of one or more [4msections.[24m Each section starts
with a line that identifies the type of section. Possible sections
are:
#command
Defines new command keys.
#line-edit
Defines new line-editing keys.
#env Defines environment variables.
Blank lines and lines which start with a pound sign (#) are ignored,
except for the special section header lines.
[1mCOMMAND SECTION[0m
The command section begins with the line
#command
If the command section is the first section in the file, this line may
be omitted. The command section consists of lines of the form:
[4mstring[24m <whitespace> [4maction[24m [extra-string] <newline>
Whitespace is any sequence of one or more spaces and/or tabs. The
[4mstring[24m is the command key(s) which invoke the action. The [4mstring[24m may
be a single command key, or a sequence of up to 15 keys. The [4maction[24m is
the name of the less action, from the list below. The characters in
the [4mstring[24m may appear literally, or be prefixed by a caret to indicate
a control key. A backslash followed by one to three octal digits may
be used to specify a character by its octal value. A backslash fol-
lowed by certain characters specifies input characters as follows:
\b BACKSPACE
\e ESCAPE
\n NEWLINE
\r RETURN
\t TAB
\ku UP ARROW
\kd DOWN ARROW
\kr RIGHT ARROW
\kl LEFT ARROW
\kU PAGE UP
\kD PAGE DOWN
\kh HOME
\ke END
\kx DELETE
A backslash followed by any other character indicates that character is
to be taken literally. Characters which must be preceded by backslash
include caret, space, tab and the backslash itself.
An action may be followed by an "extra" string. When such a command is
entered while running [4mless,[24m the action is performed, and then the extra
string is parsed, just as if it were typed in to [4mless.[24m This feature
can be used in certain cases to extend the functionality of a command.
For example, see the "{" and ":t" commands in the example below. The
extra string has a special meaning for the "quit" action: when [4mless[0m
quits, first character of the extra string is used as its exit status.

[1mPRECEDENCE[0m
Commands specified by [4mlesskey[24m take precedence over the default com-
mands. A default command key may be disabled by including it in the
input file with the action "invalid". Alternatively, a key may be
defined to do nothing by using the action "noaction". "noaction" is
similar to "invalid", but [4mless[24m will give an error beep for an "invalid"
command, but not for a "noaction" command. In addition, ALL default
commands may be disabled by adding this control line to the input file:
#stop
This will cause all default commands to be ignored. The #stop line
should be the last line in that section of the file.
Be aware that #stop can be dangerous. Since all default commands are
disabled, you must provide sufficient commands before the #stop line to
enable all necessary actions. For example, failure to provide a "quit"
command can lead to frustration.
[1mLINE EDITING SECTION[0m
The line-editing section begins with the line:
#line-edit
This section specifies new key bindings for the line editing commands,
in a manner similar to the way key bindings for ordinary commands are
specified in the #command section. The line-editing section consists
of a list of keys and actions, one per line as in the example below.
[1mEXAMPLE[0m
The following input file describes the set of default line-editing keys
used by less:
#line-edit
\t forw-complete
\17 back-complete
\e\t back-complete
^L expand
^V literal
^A literal
\el right
\kr right
\eh left
\kl left
\eb word-left
\e\kl word-left
\ew word-right
\e\kr word-right
\ei insert
\ex delete
\kx delete
\eX word-delete
\ekx word-delete
\e\b word-backspace
\e0 home
\kh home
\e$ end
\ke end
\ek up
\ku up
\ej down
^G abort
[1mLESS ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES[0m
The environment variable section begins with the line
#env
Following this line is a list of environment variable assignments.
Each line consists of an environment variable name, an equals sign (=)
and the value to be assigned to the environment variable. White space
before and after the equals sign is ignored. Variables assigned in
this way are visible only to [4mless.[24m If a variable is specified in the
system environment and also in a lesskey file, the value in the lesskey
file takes precedence. Although the lesskey file can be used to over-
ride variables set in the environment, the main purpose of assigning
variables in the lesskey file is simply to have all [4mless[24m configuration
information stored in one file.
[1mEXAMPLE[0m
The following input file sets the -i option whenever [4mless[24m is run, and
specifies the character set to be "latin1":
#env
LESS = -i
LESSCHARSET = latin1
[1mSEE ALSO[0m
less(1)
[1mWARNINGS[0m
On MS-DOS and OS/2 systems, certain keys send a sequence of characters
which start with a NUL character (0). This NUL character should be
represented as \340 in a lesskey file.
