    /* ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.Dict

    This file remaps the key bindings of a single user on Mac OS X 10.5 to more
    closely match default behavior on Windows systems. This makes the Command key
    behave like Windows Control key. To use Control instead of Command, either swap
    Control and Command in Apple->System Preferences->Keyboard->Modifier Keys...
    or replace @ with ^ in this file.

    Here is a rough cheatsheet for syntax.
    Key Modifiers
    ^ : Ctrl
    $ : Shift
    ~ : Option (Alt)
    @ : Command (Apple)
    # : Numeric Keypad

    Non-Printable Key Codes

    Standard
    Up Arrow: \UF700 Backspace: \U0008 F1: \UF704
    Down Arrow: \UF701 Tab: \U0009 F2: \UF705
    Left Arrow: \UF702 Escape: \U001B F3: \UF706
    Right Arrow: \UF703 Enter: \U000A ...
    Insert: \UF727 Page Up: \UF72C
    Delete: \UF728 Page Down: \UF72D
    Home: \UF729 Print Screen: \UF72E
    End: \UF72B Scroll Lock: \UF72F
    Break: \UF732 Pause: \UF730
    SysReq: \UF731 Menu: \UF735
    Help: \UF746

    OS X
    delete: \U007F

    For a good reference see http://osxnotes.net/keybindings.html.

    NOTE: typically the Windows 'Insert' key is mapped to what Macs call 'Help'.
    Regular Mac keyboards don't even have the Insert key, but provide 'Fn' instead,
    which is completely different.
