Problem:

Answer:

The following is the contents of a file that defines mappings from key sequences to methods that will be called on the responder chain of any Cocoa application when executed while editing. To install this functionality, put these contents into a file named DefaultKeyBinding.dict and place the file in the directory: ~/Library/Keybindings. Notice that some of the bindings are to direct keys, such as C-v for pageDown:. While, other bindings are for a sequence of key-strokes, such as ESC-f for moveWordForward:,.
