## Parameters ##


| | |
| --- | --- |
| [`-list`](/documentation/help/bind_-list): |       Displays a list of all the bindable commands. |
| `-delete`: |     Removes the binding. |
| `-reset`: |      Reset a key to its default binding. |

A name of the binding and the command to perform; if no parameter is given,
the list of bindings will be displayed.

Details:

Adds or removes a binding; the binding itself is case-sensitive and may
contain as many characters as you want.

Uppercase characters usually indicate that you need to keep the shift-key
pressed to use the binding.
