Usage:
/DOKEY name
Executes the function of the edit key name. Most of the edit key functions are not meaningful when the /dokey command is executed from the regular command line, but are intended to be called from a keybinding created with /bind or /def -b.

A default of "(stty)" means the key sequence is that used by your terminal driver. A default of "(termcap)" means the key sequence is that given in the termcap entry for %TERM.
The return value of /dokey depends on the function. The movement and deletion functions return the new position of the cursor. The return values of other functions aren't very useful.
See "keybindings" for a complete list of keybindings.
Example:
/bind ^? = /dokey BSPC /bind ^H = /dokey BSPCBoth ^H and DEL could then be used to do backspacing (this is already done by default).
