GNU Info 4.6
12. Customizing Key Bindings and Variables
For those whose editor/pager of choice is not Emacs and who are not
entirely satisfied with the --vi-keys option (see --vi-keys), GNU
Info provides a way to define different key-to-command bindings and
variable settings from the defaults described in this document.
On startup, GNU Info looks for a configuration file in the invoker's
HOME directory called `.info'(7). If it is present, and
appears to contain Info configuration data, and was created with the
current version of the infokey command, then Info adopts the
key bindings and variable settings contained therein.
The `.info' file contains compact, non-textual data for reasons of
efficiency and because its design was lifted wholesale from the GNU Less
program, which also does it that way. It must be created by compiling a
textual source file using the infokey command.
