ircII help - bind/examples

Examples of the BIND function:

    bind ^X META2_CHARACTER
Makes control X a meta key.

    bind ^Xl parse LIST
Binds the meta sequence control X followed by l to perform a LIST. This binding is only valid if ^X was previously bound to a meta function (as was done in the first example).

    bind META1-u BACKWARD_HISTORY
by default, the escape key is bound to META1_CHARACTER, so this binding makes the escape u key sequence show the last command history entry. Note that more than one key may be bound to *any* function.

    BIND ! type Bang!
This binds the ! (exclamation mark) to type the word "Bang!" into the input line whenever it is hit.

    BIND META1-[ meta2
    BIND meta2-A BACKWARD_HISTORY
    BIND meta2-B FORWARD_HISTORY
    BIND meta2-D BACKWARD_CHARACTER
    BIND meta2-C FORWARD_CHARACTER
This sequence would bind your arrow keys to the functions listed.
