Listing keybindings

Listing keybindings

[Sebastian Stein]

Hi,

how can I find out the current key bindings? Is there something similar like
the "alias" command returning me all aliases?

    bindkey, with no options, to list the current keymap.

    bindkey -M <KEYMAP> to list the "KEYMAP" keymap.

    bindkey -l lists the available keymaps.

    If you add -L to the first and second examples, the output will
be the commands needed to create the current bindings.

Ok, stupid question, of course I can just type "bindkey".

I read in one tutorial, that I can insert a command like "xfig" and press
ESC+? to call the alias which-command. In the turorial it is said to be the
default behaviour. However, I can't find this keybinding.

The tutorial:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-z.html?open&l=335,t=gr,p=Z-Shell

The paragraph I'm talking about:

"It's worth mentioning the "which-command" function which is useful here.
After completion, or after typing a command in, run the function, which by
default is bound to Esc-? press and release Escape, then press "?")."


Any ideas about it, or is the tutorial just outdated?

    But, according with the info manual of version 4.2.5,
which-command exists as a widget, and by default is bound to ESC-?

    Try binding it to another combination just to test.

    And oh, BTW, you have to have a shell function, alias or command
called "which-command", of course, because the widget calls it (in
fact, it does exactly that, calls "which-command CMD", where "CMD" is
the current command in the editor buffer.

The problem is, as the other poster said, that I'm using the vi keymap.
There this keybinding is not defined. I added now the following line to my
.zshrc and it works great:

bindkey '^P' which-command

Thanks for your help,

You are right, I'm using vi keymap and not emacs. Now I defined a binding by
myself.

Look up 'bindkey' in the manual.
