This document describes the format of the key/mouse bindings and the list
of the available commands that the binding can be set to.

The resource name for a binding consists of the following in order:
* The puzzle set name (can be "?" to apply to all puzzle sets)
* One of "editClick", "editKey", "gameClick", or "gameKey"
* Zero or more components for modifier keys (see below)
* Key name (or mouse button)

You cannot use "?" for keys, mouse buttons, or modifiers. You may,
however, use "?" in place of the edit/game selection.

Valid modifier keys are:
* shift
* ctrl
* alt
* meta
* numLock (cannot be combined with other modifiers except shift)

Most key names are lowercase, except alphabetic keys which are uppercase.
Mouse button names are "left", "middle", or "right".

The value specifies what action. The action can be one of the below:

It can be + (to advance) or - (to rewind) or = (to restart) followed by
the number of moves.

It can be ! followed by a system command.

It can be ' followed by a Hero Mesh key name, to input a move.

It can be ^ followed by one more character, to execute a command which
has ^ as the first character; if it requires an argument, the clicked
location will be used if it is clicked with the mouse.

Finally, it can be a single SQL statement. The result rows are treated as
commands to execute, where the first column is a string of two characters
(the possibilities are explained below) and the rest of the columns (if
any) are the arguments. You can use NULL for trailing arguments if you do
not need that many arguments.

SQL statements can also contain host parameters. The valid host parameters
are $X (clicked X coordinate), $Y (clicked Y coordinate), $LEVEL (level
order number), $LEVEL_ID (level ID number), and any name with : at first
to ask the user for the value to use.
