 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'(1).  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.

    (1) 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.
