 This is the default key configuration file of ranger.
 Syntax for binding keys: map(*keys, fnc)
 
-keys are one or more key-combinations which are either:
-* a string
-* an integer which represents an ascii code
-* a tuple of integers
+Examples for keys: "x", "gg", "<C-J><A-4>", "<tab>", "<down><up><right>"
 
-fnc is a function which is called with the CommandArgument object.
+fnc is a function which is called with the CommandArgs object.
 
-The CommandArgument object has these attributes:
+The CommandArgs object has these attributes:
 arg.fm: the file manager instance
 arg.wdg: the current widget
 arg.n: the number typed before the key combination (if allowed)
+arg.direction: the direction object (if applicable)
 arg.keys: the string representation of the used key combination
 arg.keybuffer: the keybuffer instance
 
-Check ranger.keyapi for more information
+Direction keys are special.  They must be mapped with: map.dir(*keys, **args)
+where args is a dict of values such as up, down, to, absolute, relative...
+Example: map.dir('gg', to=0)
+Direction keys can be accessed in a mapping that contians "<dir>".
+
+Additionally, there are shortcuts for accessing methods of the current
+file manager and widget instance:
+map('xyz', fm.method(foo=bar))
+will be translated to:
+map('xyz', lamdba arg: arg.fm.method(foo=bar))
+If possible, arg.n and arg.direction are automatically inserted.
+
+
+Example scenario
+----------------
+If this keys are defined:
+map("dd", "d<dir>", fm.cut(foo=bar))
+map.dir("gg", to=0)
+
+Type in the keys on the left and the function on the right will be executed:
+dd        => fm.cut(foo=bar)
+5dd       => fm.cut(foo=bar, narg=5)
+dgg       => fm.cut(foo=bar, dirarg=Direction(to=0))

+This is the default key configuration file of ranger.
+Syntax for binding keys: map(*keys, fnc)
+
+keys are one or more key-combinations which are either:
+* a string
+* an integer which represents an ascii code
+* a tuple of integers
+
+fnc is a function which is called with the CommandArgument object.
+
+The CommandArgument object has these attributes:
+arg.fm: the file manager instance
+arg.wdg: the widget or ui instance
+arg.n: the number typed before the key combination (if allowed)
+arg.keys: the string representation of the used key combination
+arg.keybuffer: the keybuffer instance
+
