 12 Customizing Key Bindings and Variables
 *****************************************
 
 GNU Info provides a way to define arbitrary key-to-command bindings and
 variable settings, overriding the defaults described in this document.
 (The '--vi-keys' option rebinds many keys at once;  --vi-keys.)
 
    On startup, GNU Info looks for a configuration file in the invoker's
 HOME directory called '.info'.  (Due to the limitations of DOS
 filesystems, the MS-DOS version of Info looks for a file '_info'
 instead.  If the 'HOME' variable is not defined, Info additionally looks
 in the current directory.)  If it is present, and appears to contain
 Info configuration data, and was created with the current version of the
 'infokey' command, then Info adopts the key bindings and variable
 settings contained therein.
 
    The '.info' file contains compact, non-textual data for reasons of
 efficiency and because its design was lifted wholesale from the GNU Less
 program, which also does it that way.  It must be created by compiling a
 textual source file using the 'infokey' command.
