+Commands are used for:
+
+* creating keybindings
+* altering variables
+* getting the values of variables
+* running actions
+* setting the input buffer
+
+Uzbl will read commands via standard input, named fifo pipe (if `fifo_dir` is set) and IPC socket (when `socket_dir` is set).
+For convenience, uzbl can also be instructed to read commands from a file on startup by using the `-c` option. Indeed, the config file is nothing more than a list of commands.
+
+Each command starts with the name of the command, which must be the first thing on a line; preceding whitespace is not allowed.
+A command is terminated by a newline. Empty lines and lines that start with the hash sign are ignored by the parser. Command names are not case sensitive.
+
+The following commands are recognized:
+
+ SET <key> = <value>
+Set is used for changing variables. Every variable can be changed on the fly and for some variables, some additional logic is performed.
+For example, setting the variable `uri` will make uzbl start loading it, and changing the format of the statusbar/windowtitle/user agent/.. will be effective immediately.
+If you want to unset a string, use SET with one space after the equals sign.
+
+ GET <key>
+Use this to print the value of a key. (and TODO, get the value through the socket)
+
+ BIND <string> = <action>
+Makes the character sequence `<string>` invoke `<action>` when typed interactively in uzbl.
+There are a few tricks you can do:
+
+* `<string>` ends with an underscore: the action will only be invoked after pressing return/enter. If the user enters text where `<string>` has the underscore, `%s` in the `<action>` string will be replaced by this text. (optional)
+* `<string>` ends with an asterisk: similar behavior as with an underscore, but also makes the binding incremental (i.e. the action will be invoked on every keystroke).
+* `<string>` ends on a different character: you need to type the full string, which will trigger the action immediately, without pressing enter/return.
+
+Examples:
+
+ # uzbl will load the url when you type: 'o <url><enter>'
+ bind o _ = uri %s
+ # a search action which is called on every character typed after the slash, letting you see the search narrow down while typing.
+ # Hitting return, enter or esc will terminate the search.
+ bind /* = search %s
+ # when you type `ZZ` and nothing else, the exit action will be triggered immediately.
+ bind ZZ = exit
+
+ ACT <action>
+This tells uzbl to execute an action immediately. The simplest example of this would be `act exit`; you know what that'll do.

+
+### ACTIONS
+Actions are invoked via bindings and by the ACT command. Most actions are self-explanatory, though a few need to be clarified. A list of
+actions follows:
+
+* `back`
+* `forward`
+* `scroll_vert <amount>`
+* `scroll_horz <amount>`
+ - amount is given in pixels(?) or as a percentage of the size of the view
+ - set amount to 100% to scroll a whole page
+* `scroll_begin`
+* `scroll_end`
+* `reload`
+* `reload_ign_cache`
+* `stop`
+* `zoom_in`
+* `zoom_out`
+* `uri <address>`
+* `js <body>`
+ - execute the javascript in `<body>`
+ - remember that the commands, and thus actions, must not contain line breaks
+* `script <file>`
+ - execute the javascript in `<file>`
+* `toggle_status`
+* `spawn <executable> <additonal args>`
+ - runs a command; see EXTERNAL SCRIPTS for details
+ - PATH is searched so giving the full path to commands is not neccessary
+ - note that the arguments as specified in "EXTERNAL SCRIPTS" are appended at the end, so the argument numbers will be higher.
+* `sh <command>`
+ - runs a shell command by expanding `%s` in the `shell_cmd` variable with the specified command; primarily useful as a shortcut for `spawn sh -c <body>`
+ - note that the arguments as specified in "EXTERNAL SCRIPTS" are appended at the end, so the argument numbers will be higher.
+* `exit`
+* `search <string>`
+* `search_reverse <string>`
+ - search with no string will search for the next/previous occurrence of the string previously searched for
+* `toggle_insert_mode <optional state>`
+ - if the optional state is 0, disable insert mode. If 1, enable insert mode.
+* `runcmd`
+ - can be used for running a command such as SET or BIND
+* `keycmd <string>`
+* `keycmd_nl <string>`
+ - keycmd sets the interactive command buffer to `<string>`. If the given string is a valid binding, it will execute. `Keycmd_nl` is like `keycmd`, but it also emulates a press of return, causing bindings with a parameter to execute. For example, `keycmd_nl o google.com` would load the said url if you have a binding like `bind o _ = uri %s`.
+* `keycmd_bs`
+ - erase (backspace) one character from the command buffer
+* `chain <action> <action> ..`
+ - use for chaining multiple actions
+ - remember to quote the actions; one action must come as one parameter
