<h1>ALTERNATIVE BINDING</h1>
<p>Lynx invokes a built-in <em>Line Editor</em> for entering
strings in response to prompts, in forms, and for email messages
if an external editor has not been defined. Additional
alternative key-bindings can be offered by configuring with
--enable-alt-bindings or by adding them in LYEditmap.c before
compiling Lynx. If available, they may be selected via the
'o'ptions menu, or by editing lineedit_mode in the '.lynxrc'
file.</p>
<p>Note: setting emacs/vi keys ON has no direct effect on
line-editor bindings.</p>
<p>This is the <em>Alternative Binding</em> keymap:</p>

ABORT Input cancelled - Ctrl-G, Ctrl-O, (Ctrl-C on some systems)
