xmbind Command

Purpose

Configures virtual key bindings.

Syntax

xmbind [ -display Host:Display:ScreenID ] [ FileName ]

Description

The xmbind command is an X Windows System client that configures the virtual key bindings for AIXwindows applications. This action is performed by the mwm command at its startup, so the xmbind client is only needed when mwm is not in use or when you want to change bindings without restarting mwm. If a file is specified, its contents are used as the virtual key bindings. If a file is not specified, the .motifbind file in the user's home directory is used. If this file is not found, the xmbind command loads the default virtual key bindings.
