[] Defining and Using HotKeys

HotKeys are keys that are associated with scripts; by pressing a HotKey, the associated script is executed.

Defining nativation commands to keypad cursor keys makes mud navigation as simple as playing a video game.

HotKeys are defined within the [HotKeys] section of a script file.

MUTT(tm) Lite supports a limited number of hotkeys.


The HotKey format is as follows: label = script

"label" is a HotKey identifier and "script" is the script that is associated with it.

The following lists identifiers supported in MUTT(tm) Lite; the first column indicates the keyword to be used in script files, the second is the description.
