# Keyboard shortcuts and mouse bindings

Table 14-1. Defining keybouard shortcuts and mouse bindings

Command | Description | Example

Key <key> <context> <modif> <fn> | Binds a key to a function | Key F11 A SCM WindowList
Mouse <button> <context> <modif> <fn> | Binds a mouse button to a function | Mouse 1 R N Menu "Root" Nop

Mouse and key bindings take a context and modifiers as arguments. Contexts can be combined (for example, IW is for Icon and Window) and so can modifiers.

Recognized contexts are :

- <n> for a title bar button. Counting starts from the outside, alternating between left and right. So 1 is the first button on the left, 2 the first button on the right, 3 the second button on the left, etc.

- R for the root window

- W for an application window

- T for a window title bar

- S for a window side, top, or bottom bar

- F for a window frame (the corners)

- I for an Icon window

- A is for any context except for title-bar buttons

Recognized modifiers :

- S for Shift

- M for Meta

- C for Control

- N for no modifier

- A for any or no modifier
