The bind command

Mutt allows you to change the default key bindings through the use of the bind command in your .muttrc initialization file.

Usage: bind <key> <function-name> <menu-name>

key is either a single character, or a string quoted in single or double quotes. Control characters can be bound prefixing the \C (or \c) escape function before a character. For example, control-A (ASCII 1) can be denoted by "\Ca" (or "\CA").

Examples:

bind ' ' display-message main-menu
bind y print-message main-menu
bind "\Cn" next-message internal-pager

Below is a list of the menus and the functions that each understands.

attach-menu, folder-menu and alias-menu

In addition, attach-menu also understands the following:

main-menu

internal-pager
