+
+Keys
+====
+
+This file describes the default keys of poezio and explains how to
+configure them.
+
+By default, most keys manipulating the input (where you type your
+messages and commands) behave like emacs does.
+
+.. note:: Keys are case sensitive. Ctrl-X is not the same than Ctrl-x
+
+Key bindings listing
+--------------------
+Some key bindings are available only in some tabs, others are global.
+
+Global keys
+~~~~~~~~~~~
+These keys work in **any** tab.
+
+**Ctrl-n**: Go to the next tab.
+
+**Ctrl-p**: Go to the previous tab.
+
+**Alt-number**: Go to the tab with that number.
+
+**Alt-j**: Waits for you to type a two-digits number. Go to tab number xx.
+
+**Alt-e**: Go to the tab with a higher priority (private message >
+highlight > message > non-empty input).

+and save it to the clipboard.

+
+.. _key-conf:
+
+Key configuration
+-----------------
+
+Bindings are keyboard shortcut aliases. You can use them
+to define your own keys to replace the default ones.
+where ``^x`` means *Control + x*
+and ``M-x`` means *Alt + x*
+
+To know exactly what the code of a key is, just run
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ python3 src/keyboard.py
+
+And enter any key.
+
+Turn Alt-i into a tab key (completion, etc):
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ M-i = ^I
+
+Actions
+-------
+
+Mapping actions on keys
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+One may want to add keyboard shortcuts on actions that were not mapped already
+in poezio. To this effect, you can map the keys on actions using the
+:ref:`key-conf` seen in the previous section.
+
+
+The actions are pseudo-keystrokes, and have to be treated the same way.
+They all begin with an underscore to prevent any possible collision with things
+already defined.
+
+Actions list
+~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+.. note:: Even if some of these actions are labelled as similar to other
+ keystrokes, remapping the keystrokes will not remap the actions defined here.
+
+**_bookmark**
+
+ Bookmarks the current room.
+
+ Similar to :term:`/bookmark`.
+
+**_bookmark_local** Bookmarks the current room, locally.
+
+ Similar to :term:`/bookmark_local`

+
+ This is the same as :term:`/close`. The first tab (the roster) can not be closed.

+
+**_quit**: Exits poezio.

+``_exc_`` keyword.
+
+
+You only have to prefix your command line with ``_exc_``, and without the ``/``.
+
+
+**/kick Partauche bound on Ctrl-w**:
+
+.. code-block:: ini
+
+ ^W = _exc_kick Partauche
+
+
+That key binding will only work in the tabs defining the command (here, the
+MUC tab), and will show an error message in the others.
+
