Key binding

A key binding is a mapping from keystrokes and combinations to events to be delivered to the active application.

There is generally a default keybinding, which can be modified on a per-user basis, or even by executing scripts to make the changes.

= Example = For example, on a US standard keyboard (and probably many others) one can swap the effects of the Caps-Lock and the left Control keys using a file like this: remove Lock   = Caps_Lock remove Control = Control_L Control_R keycode 0x42 =	Control_L	NoSymbol	Control_L keycode 0x25 =	Caps_Lock	NoSymbol	Caps_Lock add   Lock    = Caps_Lock add   Control = Control_L Control_R

and the command xmodmap /full-path-to-file See the documentation of xmodmap for details -- there are a lot of them.
