+- Issue: [#1238](https://github.com/weechat/weechat/issues/1238): add aliases for key bindings
+- Status: draft
+- Target WeeChat version: TBD
+
+## Context
+
+WeeChat uses raw key codes to bind keys with `/key bind`, the user has to use
+key `alt+k` to find such code and any typo in the key may lead to unusable
+WeeChat.
+
+There should be a visual way to edit key bindings.
+
+## Goals
+
+Purpose of this specification is to make easier the binding of keys:
+
+- use human readable key bindings (eg: `meta-left` instead of `meta2-1;3D`)
+- use comma to separate keys in combos (eg: `meta-w,meta-up` instead of `meta-wmeta-meta2-A`)
+- make keys normal options, to they are shown and can be updated with `/set` and `/fset` commands
+
+## Out of scope
+
+Keys specific to buffers (like on `/fset` buffer) are not covered by this specification.
+
+They may be improved in future by allowing easily the user to add, change or delete keys on specific buffers, and save these keys in configuration file.
+
+## Changes
+
+### Keyboard debug mode
+
+A keyboard debug mode is added with command `/key debug`: it displays on each key pressed:
+
+- raw key code
+- expanded name
+- command bound if key is found
+- indication whether text must be inserted into input
+
+During this debug mode, no signal nor command is actually executed.
+
+The key `q` is used to quit this mode.
+
+Example of debug messages for some keys (before this specification is implemented):
+
+```text
+# key: ctrl + r
+debug: "🅰r" -> "ctrl-r" -> "/input search_text_here"
+
+# key: arrow up
+debug: "🅰[[A" -> "meta2-A" -> "/input history_previous"
+
+# key: alt + arrow up
+debug: "🅰[[1;3A" -> "meta2-1;3A" -> "/buffer -1"
+
+# key: alt + w then alt + arrow left
+debug: "🅰[w🅰[[1;3D" -> "meta-wmeta2-1;3D" -> "/window left"
+
+# key: alt + e
+debug: "🅰[e" -> "meta-e" (no key)
+
+# key: a
+debug: "a" -> "a" (no key) -> insert into input
+```
+
+Example of debug messages for the same keys after complete implementation of this specification:
+
+```text
+# key: ctrl + r
+debug: "🅰r" -> "ctrl-r" -> "/input search_text_here"
+
+# key: arrow up
+debug: "🅰[[A" -> "up" -> "/input history_previous"
+
+# key: alt + arrow up
+debug: "🅰[[1;3A" -> "meta-up" -> "/buffer -1"
+
+# key: alt + w then alt + arrow left
+debug: "🅰[w🅰[[1;3D" -> "meta-w,meta-left" -> "/window left"
+
+# key: alt + e
+debug: "🅰[e" -> "meta-e" (no key)
+
+# key: a
+debug: "a" -> "a" (no key) -> insert into input
+```
+
+### Human readable keys
+
+A new function is added to convert a raw key code to a human readable key.
+
+Here are some examples of raw keys and their human readable version that must be used to bind keys:
+
+Raw key | Key name | Comment

+
+### Keys as options
+
+Keys are now stored as standard options, that means they can be added, updated
+and deleted with `/set` and `/fset` commands.
+
+The recommended way to create new keys is still `/key` as it controls the validity of key name.
+
+New options:
+
+Options | Description
+---------------------- | ------------------------------------------------
+`weechat.key.*` | Keys for context "default"
+`weechat.key_search.*` | Keys for context "search" (`ctrl+r`)
+`weechat.key_cursor.*` | Keys for context "cursor" (`/cursor`)
+`weechat.key_mouse.*` | Keys for context "mouse" (mouse buttons / wheel)
+
+Example of output with `/fset weechat.key*`:

+
+### Backward compatibility
+
+#### Convert legacy keys
+
+A function is added to convert a legacy key code to the new one:
+
+- add commas between keys in a combo (for example: `ctrl-cb` → `ctrl-c,b`)
+- convert any comma used as char into `comma` (for example: `meta-,` → `meta-comma`)
+- convert name to human readable name (for example: `meta2-1;3D` → `meta-left`)
+
+// When creating a key which has a legacy name, WeeChat first converts it to its internal code (using legacy function `gui_key_get_internal_code`), then converts it back to its name using key aliases (using function `gui_key_get_expanded_name`).
+
+Example of conversion:
+
+Legacy key | New key | Description
+-------------------- | ---------------- | -------------------------------
+`a` | `a` | Letter `a`
+`meta-a` | `meta-a` | Alt + `a`
+`meta-A` | `meta-A` | Alt + shift + `a` (= Alt + `A`)
+`ctrl-cb` | `ctrl-c,b` | Ctrl + `c` then `b`
+`meta2-D` | `left` | Left arrow
+`meta2-Z` | `s-tab` | Shift + `Tab`
+`ctrl-m` | `return` | Return
+`ctrl-j` | `return` | Return
+`meta-wmeta-meta2-A` | `meta-w,meta-up` | Alt + `w` then Alt + up arrow
+
+When upgrading WeeChat from an old release (with old keys), WeeChat automatically converts legacy keys, and they are then saved later with the new name.
+
+Multiple legacy names may point to the same new name, for example `ctrl-m` and `ctrl-j` point to new key `return`.
+In this case, only one key `return` is created with the latest key read.
+
+That means before upgrade there are in weechat.conf:
+
+```text
+[keys]
+ctrl-j = "/input return"
+ctrl-m = "/input return"
+meta-ctrl-m = "/input insert \n"
+meta-wmeta-meta2-A = "/window up"
+(…)
+```
+
+And after upgrade:
+
+```text
+[keys]
+return = "/input return"
+meta-return = "/input insert \n"
+meta-w,meta-up = "/window up"
+(…)
+```
+
+## Planning
+
+The changes must be implemented in this order:
+
+1. Add keyboard debug mode
+2. Add function to get expanded key name (human readable)
+3. (…)
