# Key bindings
#
-# Each binding is defined as an object with some properties. Most of the
-# properties are optional. All of the alphabetical keys should have a letter for
-# the `key` value such as `V`. Function keys are probably what you would expect
-# as well (F1, F2, ..). The number keys above the main keyboard are encoded as
-# `Key1`, `Key2`, etc. Keys on the number pad are encoded `Number1`, `Number2`,
-# etc. These all match the glutin::VirtualKeyCode variants.
+# Key bindings are specified as a list of objects. Each binding will specify
+# a key and modifiers required to trigger it, terminal modes where the binding
+# is applicable, and what should be done when the key binding fires. It can
+# either send a byte sequnce to the running application (`chars`), execute
+# a predefined action (`action`) or fork and execute a specified command plus
+# arguments (`command`).
+#
+# Example:
+# `- { key: V, mods: Command, action: Paste }`
#
-# A list with all available `key` names can be found here:
-# https://docs.rs/glutin/*/glutin/enum.VirtualKeyCode.html#variants
+# Available fields:
+# - key
+# - mods (optional)
+# - chars | action | command (exactly one required)
+# - mode (optional)
#
-# Possible values for `mods`
-# `Command`, `Super` refer to the super/command/windows key
-# `Control` for the control key
-# `Shift` for the Shift key
-# `Alt` and `Option` refer to alt/option
+# Values for `key`:
+# - `A` -> `Z`

+# - Shift
+# - Alt
+#
+# Multiple `mods` can be combined using `|` like this: `mods: Control|Shift`.
+# Whitespace and capitalization is relevant and must match the example.
+#
+# Values for `chars`:
+# The `chars` field writes the specified string to the terminal. This makes
+# it possible to pass escape sequences.
+# To find escape codes for bindings like `PageUp` ("\x1b[5~"), you can run
+# the command `showkey -a` outside of tmux.

-# around them.
+# Values for `command`:
+# The `command` field must be a map containing a `program` string and
+# an `args` array of command line parameter strings.
#
-# Either an `action`, `chars`, or `command` field must be present.
-# `action` must be one of the following:
