The <tt>bind</tt> builtin causes fish to add a key binding from the specified sequence.
SEQUENCE is the character sequence to bind to. Usually, one would use
fish escape sequences to express them. For example, Alt-w can be
written as <tt>\\ew</tt>, and Control-x can be written as
<tt>\\cx</tt>.
fish escape sequences to express them. For example, because pressing
the Alt key and another character sends that character prefixed with
an escape character, Alt-based key bindings can be written using the
\c \\e escape. For example, Alt-w can be written as
<tt>\\ew</tt>. Control character can be written in much the same way
using the \c \\c escape, for example Control-x can be written as
<tt>\\cx</tt>. Note that Alt-based key bindings are case sensitive and
Control base key bindings are not. This is not a design choice in
fish, it is simply how terminals work.
If SEQUENCE is the empty string, i.e. an empty set of quotes, this is
interpreted as the default keybinding. It will be used whenever no
