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.
