====== Event bindings ======


Event bindings map input events to console commands.


===== Syntax =====

#@Identifier_HTML~bindevent~@# [ #@UArg_HTML~context~@# ] #@UArg_HTML~spec~@# #@UArg_HTML~command~@#

The event specification //spec// is composed of an event descriptor and optionally any additional conditions for the validity of the binding. The specification may be prefixed with a context name; if omitted, the binding is created in the default "game" context.


===== Examples =====

<code>
bindevent key-codex20-up "print {space (0x20) released}"
bindevent key-m-down+key-shift+key-ctrl "print {Shift+Ctrl+M}"
bindevent key-capslock-down "toggle ctl-run"
bindevent key-home-down "impulse falldown"
