     LESSKEY(1)			 UNIX 5.0		    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 [extra-string] <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 preceded 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.

	  An action may be followed by an extra string.	 This string
	  is parsed after the command is entered, just as if it were
	  entered on the command line.	This feature can be used in
	  certain cases to extend the functionality of a command.  For
	  example, these entries would create a pair of commands to
	  turn on/off line numbers using vi syntax:

	       :set\ nu	      toggle-option -N
	       :set\ nonu     toggle-option +N

	  See also the ":ta" command in the example below.

     EXAMPLE
	  The following input file describes the set of default
	  command keys used by less:

	       r	 forw-line
	       n	 forw-line
	       e	 forw-line
