_L_e_s_s_k_e_y is used to specify a set of key bindings to be used
by _l_e_s_s. The input file is a text file which describes the
key bindings, and the output file is a binary file which is
used by _l_e_s_s. 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
^Y back-line
^P back-line
b back-screen
^B back-screen
\33v back-screen
u back-scroll
^U back-scroll
? back-search
E examine
^X^V examine
+ first-cmd
e forw-line
j forw-line
^E forw-line

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