+.Sh NAME
+.Nm dhexrc
+.Nd Configuration File for dhex
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+dhexrc is the configuration file that specifies the colorscheme and the key translation tab for
+.Xr dhex 1 ,
+Upon starting the program, it is being read and parsed. It is being written and/or created after invoking the keyboard setup.
+.Ss EXAMPLE
+A typical .dhexrc file looks like this:

+.Sh OPTIONS
+In the example above, the dhexrc file has three distinct sections: A comment section, a color section and a key conversion tab section.
+.Ss Comments
+Comments are indicated with a '#' character. Everything afterwards in a line is being ignored when parsing the file
+.Ss Color section
+There are 13 color groups. Each of the color group has a foreground color, a background color and some extra flags, coming from ncurses. The foreground color is being defined by
+.Nm FG=
+while the background color is being defined by
+.Nm BG=.
+They and the extra flags are being separated by ','. Possible colors are
+.Nm BLACK ,
+.Nm GREEN ,
+.Nm RED ,
+.Nm YELLOW ,
+.Nm BROWN ,
+.Nm BLUE ,
+.Nm MAGENTA ,
+.Nm WHITE ,
+and exclusively as foreground colors
+.Nm LIGHTBLACK ,
+.Nm LIGHTGREEN ,
+.Nm LIGHTRED ,
+.Nm LIGHTYELLOW ,
+.Nm LIGHTBROWN ,
+.Nm LIGHTBLUE ,
+.Nm LIGHTMAGENTA
+and
+.Nm LIGHTWHITE.
+Valid extra flags are
+.Nm UNDERLINE ,
+.Nm REVERSE ,
+.Nm BLINK ,
+.Nm DIM
+and
+.Nm BOLD .
+.Pp
+The color pairs are as followed:
+.Bl -tag -width 10
+.It BRACKETS:
+This specifies the color for the brackets around text fields.
+.It HEXFIELD:
+This specifies the color in which the file's content is being shown.
+.It INPUT:
+When entering text, it is in this color.
+.It CURSOR:
+The cursor in the hex field has this color.
+.It TEXT:
+This color is for informative text as well as for text fields which are not taking input yet.
+.It MENU_NORMAL:
+Menu items which are not selected belong into this color group.
+.It MENU_HIGHLIGHT:
+The selected menu item gets this special color.
+.It MENU_HOTKEY:
+Hotkeys for menu items are visually distinct from the rest of the text because they have this color.
+.It MENU_HOTKEY_HI:
+If the actual menu item has a hotkey, it is shown in this color.
+.It FRAME:
+Some screens have frames. Those frames have this color.
+.It NORMAL_DIFF:
+Differences in the file's content (either because of changes or because dhex is running in diff mode) are indicated by this color.
+.It CURSOR_DIFF:
+If the cursor is on one of those differences, it will have this color.
+.It HEADLINE:
+On top of the screen, there is a headline. Which is shown in this color.
+.El
+.Ss Key conversion tab section
+When pressing a "standard" key, something which can be mapped directly to an ascii character, only this character will end up in ncurses' buffer. However, pressing special keys like (for example)
+.Nm F1
+or
+.Nm ALT+6
+will produce longer sequences. Mapping those sequences back to a specific key is the job of the key conversion tab. (I was dissatisfied how ncurses handled this on its own). The sequences are called (in order)
+.Nm KEYF1 ,
+.Nm KEYF2 ,
+.Nm KEYF3 ,
+.Nm KEYF4 ,
+.Nm KEYF5 ,
+.Nm KEYF6 ,
+.Nm KEYF7 ,
+.Nm KEYF8 ,
+.Nm KEYF9 ,
+.Nm KEYF10 ,
+.Nm KEYESC ,
+.Nm KEYBACKSPACE ,
+.Nm KEYDEL ,
+.Nm KEYENTER ,
+.Nm KEYTAB ,
+.Nm KEYUP ,
+.Nm KEYDOWN ,
+.Nm KEYRIGHT ,
+.Nm KEYLEFT ,
+.Nm KEYPGUP ,
+.Nm KEYPGDOWN ,
+.Nm KEYHOME
+and
+.Nm KEYEND .
+.Pp
+Sequences itself are a string of lower case hex-values, each two nibbles long. Currently, there is no way of adding an alternativ sequence to the same key.
+.Pp
+It is possible that the sequence made up of hex values does not REALLY belong to the key. (For example if F2 was pressed in the setup program when F1 was prompted).
+However, when this sequence ends up in the ncurses buffer, it is being interpreted as if that key was pressed.
