key_binding <-convert: name -> key_binding

Convert the name of a named (reusable) key_binding object into the corresponding object. Named key_binding objects are stored in the table @key_bindings.

If the name cannot be found in @key_bindings but it is the name of a predefined table (see key_binding<-initialise), key_binding<-convert will create a table and initialise it.

@key_bindings

key_binding <-function: event|name|event_id -> name|code

Find the function to which the specified key is bound. This function is used by key_binding->typed. It performs the following steps:

1. Lookup the key in the table key_binding<-bindings. Return the result if found.
2. Lookup in the key_binding<-bindings of the key_binding<-defaults tables (recursively). If found somewhere return the result.
3. Return key_binding<-default_function when not @nil.
4. Search for key_binding<-default_function in the key_binding<-defaults tables.
5. Fail silently if all of the above fails. @see key_binding->typed

key_binding <-lookup: name, key_binding ... -> key_binding

Lookup existing table in @key_bindings.
