====== Keys Configuration File ======

This page is about the **keys** file inside the user's HOME directory **.**[[crossfire]] .

When the [[:client]] starts the first time, then there will be no "keys" file, \\
and **if** the user never would use the bind and [[:player_commands#unbind]] commands, \\
then would that file likely never exist there.

The file gets created when the first key-binding is committed. \\
Even if it is just one command(line), a whole bunch of key bindings \\
will be printed to the **keys** file.

This keys file consists of lines as
|KeyName or KeySym|| keynro(0)((# <keynro> will typically be the keycode for that key.  While \\
# keysyms are defined to work across different OS X-servers, keycodes are \\
# X-server/machine specific. Keycodes are only needed because some keyboards \\
# (sun's type 5 for one) have keys with no corresponding keysym.)) || String of FLAGS || Command-Line |

The  keynro '0' will be always a '0' (( keys.c:get_key_info() if (save_mode) { \\
if(key->keysym == NoSymbol) { \\
 snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "(null) %i %s %s", 0,buff, key->command); \\
} \\
else { \\
snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "%s %i %s %s", gdk_keyval_name(key->keysym), 0, buff, key->command); \\
 } \\
} )) \\
- likely because some GTK+ functions probably need some value there, \\
never tried to set this '0' manually to something else - \\ 
and the **FLAGS** are
|#define KEYF_NORMAL     |0x01|// 'N' Used in normal mode //|
|#define KEYF_FIRE       |0x02|// 'F' Used in fire mode //|
|#define KEYF_RUN        |0x04|// 'R' Used in run mode //|
|#define KEYF_EDIT       |0x08|// 'E' Line editor //|
|#define KEYF_STANDARD   |0x10|// 'S' For standard/built-in keybinds //|
|#define KEYF_ALT        |0x20|// 'L' For ALT key modifier //|
|#define KEYF_META       |0x40|// 'M' For Meta key modifier //|
|#define KEYF_MODIFIERS  |0x67((includes 01,02,04,20,40))|// 'A' Mask for actual keyboard modifiers, not action modifiers //|

In this example using a GTK-1 client v1.11.0 , \\
the small letter [[#w]]((which is not member of the default keys)) is bound to \\
''apply -u rod of create earth wall; apply -a rod of create earth wall'' \\
to forcibly apply and ready that item, \\
and the newly created keys file looks as this, \\
including all the Standard Keys to be found in //client/common/def-keys.h// :
