key bindings

Assigned keystroke commands

Key bindings are the keyboard shortcuts assigned to commands in software.

Most programs let users customize key bindings to match their preferences: I changed my key bindings so Ctrl+S saves without prompting.

Power users in text editors, games, and design software often spend considerable time configuring key bindings for efficiency.
