It gets confusing when different programs use different keys for the
same command.  For example, pine and lynx use the minus key, `-', to
move back a page, but nn uses `<' to move back a page in a menu mode
and the BS key to move back a page in show mode.  You can map a key
to an nn command by using nn's map command.  The format of the
command is:

 map <mode> <key> <command>

Where <mode> is either `menu', `show', or `both'.

Below are a few key mappings that I like to use.


--- begin init.keymaps ---
# Archived in ftp://ftp.halcyon.com/pub/ii/internet/nn/init.keymaps

# In nn you can see mappings with `:show map'

# For a list of all command names see STANDARD KEY BINDINGS section of the
# nn manual (pages 78-83 in nn 6.4.18 man pages)


# Shouldn't have to do this mapping, but by default they aren't working
map show A advance-group
map show B back-group

# For compatibility with pine and lynx
map both - page-1

# Since - is now being used for page-1, need something for select-range
map menu _ select-range

# For compatibility with elm and pine have i go to menu (index).
map show i goto-menu

# My screen isn't long enough to show article IDs x and z; so why not use
# x and z to also do what X and Z do...
### map both x read-skip
### map menu z read-return
### map show z goto-menu
--- end init.keymaps ---
