LESSKEY(1)							    LESSKEY(1)

NAME
       lesskey - specify key bindings for less

SYNOPSIS
       lesskey [-o output] [input]

DESCRIPTION
       Lesskey	is  used  to specify a set of key bindings to be used by less.
       The input file is a text file which describes the key bindings, and the
       output  file  is a binary file which is used by less.  If no input file
       is specified, standard input is used.  If no output file is  specified,
       $HOME/.less is used.

       The input file consists of lines of the form:

	    string <whitespace> action <newline>

       Whitespace  is  any  sequence  of  one or more spaces and/or tabs.  The
       "string" is the command key(s) which invoke the action.	The string may
       be  a single command key, or a sequence of up to 15 keys.  The "action"
       is the name of the less action, from the list below.  The characters in
       the  "string"  may  appear  literally,  or  be  prefixed	 by a carat to
       indicate a control key.	A backslash may be used to cause the following
       character to be taken literally.	 Characters which must be preceeded by
       backslash include carat,	 space,	 tab  and  the	backslash  itself.   A
       backslash  followed by one to three octal digits may be used to specify
       a character by its octal value.	Blank lines and lines which start with
       a pound sign (#) are ignored.

       As  an  example,	 the following input file describes the set of default
       command keys used by less:

	    k		   back-line
	    y		   back-line
	    ^K		   back-line

	    ?		   back-search

	    '		   goto-mark
	    ^X^X	   goto-mark
	    H		   help
	    N		   next-file
	    %		   percent
	    p		   percent
	    P		   prev-file
	    q		   quit
	    ZZ		   quit
	    ^L		   repaint
	    ^R		   repaint
	    r		   repaint
	    R		   flush-repaint
	    n		   repeat-search
	    m		   set-mark
	    !		   shell
	    =		   status
	    ^G		   status
	    -		   toggle-option
	    _		   display-option
	    V		   version
	    v		   visual

       Commands	 specified  by	lesskey	 take  precedence  over	 the   default
       commands.  A default command key may be disabled by including it in the
       key file with the action "invalid".
