It should match, provided that there's no specific binding for the keys
in that map (=the context, index/pager/etc.). Ie. the map-specific
bindings always override generic bindings. So you can't make a generic
binding and expect it to work immediately in all the different contexts,
it only takes effect if those contexts don't have a definition in their
map.
So, I'm guessing that you have ? bound to help in the pager.
Possible solutions:
1) bind ? in pager (and all the other maps where you want it to work)
specifically to search, and do the same for <f1>
2) un-bind ? in pager, so that the generic binding will take effect.
There's no un-bind command, you do it by binding the key to the special
function "noop" -- "bind pager ? noop"
I recommend approach 1.
If this doesn't help, please be more specific about your "this does not
work" -- which keys, both? What happens when you press them: nothing,
some error, wrong function gets called?
Regards,
Mikko
(... who couldn't get "bind generic ? search" to work either, even
though ? was un-bound in pager -- Mutt said "key not bound" when I
pressed the ? key. Also, does anyone know how can I view the current
generic key bindings?)
