xmbind1x

Usage

Overview

The xmbind application is a X Window System client that configures the virtual key bindings of LessTif applications. As every LessTif application loads either a set of predefinied virtual key bindings or, if applicable, looks up the bindings in some well known places (see VirtualBindings(5x) ) you need to use xmbind only when explicitly loading binding files or when you want to reset the bindings to their initial values (after you have messed them up).

If a file is specified, its contents are used as the virtual key bindings. If no file name is given, or the file can't be found, xmbind looks for the file .motifbind in the user's home directory. If this all fails, xmbind loads the default virtual key bindings, as described in VirtualBindings(5x).

The return code is zero, if the xmbind client succeeds, otherwise it is non-zero.
