         _\bL_\be_\bs_\bs_\bk_\be_\by is used to specify a set of key bindings to be used
         by _\bl_\be_\bs_\bs. The input file is a text file which describes the
         key bindings, and the output file is a binary file which is
         used by _\bl_\be_\bs_\bs. If no input file is specified, standard input
         is used.  If no output file is specified, $HOME/.less is
         used.

         The input file consists of lines of the form:

              string <whitespace> action [extra-string] <newline>

         Whitespace is any sequence of one or more spaces and/or
         tabs.  The "string" is the command key(s) which invoke the
         action.  The string may be a single command key, or a
         sequence of up to 15 keys.  The "action" is the name of the
         less action, from the list below.  The characters in the
         "string" may appear literally, or be prefixed by a carat to
         indicate a control key.  A backslash may be used to cause
         the following character to be taken literally.  Characters
         which must be preceded by backslash include carat, space,
         tab and the backslash itself.  A backslash followed by one
         to three octal digits may be used to specify a character by
         its octal value.  Blank lines and lines which start with a
         pound sign (#) are ignored.

         An action may be followed by an extra string.  This string
         is parsed after the command is entered, just as if it were
         entered on the command line.  This feature can be used in
         certain cases to extend the functionality of a command.  For
         example, these entries would create a pair of commands to
         turn on/off line numbers using _\bv_\bi syntax:

              :set\ nu       toggle-option -N
              :set\ nonu     toggle-option +N

         See also the ":ta" command in the example below.

         The following input file describes the set of default
         command keys used by less:

              n         forw-line

         Commands specified by _\bl_\be_\bs_\bs_\bk_\be_\by take precedence over the
         default commands.  A default command key may be disabled by
         including it in the key file with the action "invalid".
