14.1 The bind command

Command: bind key [command [args]]
(none)
Bind a command to a key. The key argument is either a single character, a two-character sequence of the form `^x' (meaning C-x), a backslash followed by an octal number (specifying the ASCII code of the character), or a backslash followed by a second character, such as `\^' or `\\'. The argument can also be quoted, if you like. If no further argument is given, any previously established binding for this key is removed. The command argument can be any command (see section Command Index).

By default, most suitable commands are bound to one or more keys (see section 5.1 Default Key Bindings; for instance, the command to create a new window is bound to C-c and c. The bind command can be used to redefine the key bindings and to define new bindings.
