+<h1>+++DEFAULT BINDING+++</h1>
+
+Lynx invokes a built-in <em>Line Editor</em> for entering strings in
+response to prompts, in forms, and for email messages if an external editor
+has not been defined.  Alternative key bindings can be offered
+by configuring with --enable-alt-bindings or by adding them in LYEditmap.c
+before compiling Lynx.  If available, they may
+be selected via the 'o'ptions menu, or by editing lineedit_mode in the
+'.lynxrc' file.
+
+<p>Two such alternative key bindings, which may be available on your system,
+are the <A HREF="alt_edit_help.html">Alternative Binding</A> keymap and the
+<A HREF="bashlike_edit_help.html">Bash-like Binding</A> keymap.
+
+<p>Note: setting emacs/vi keys ON has no effect on line-editor bindings.
+
+<p>This is the <em>Default Binding</em> keymap:
