Reset Key Assignment 

Purpose 

Resets a single or Meta key to its original default assignment.

Default Syntax 

None

This command does not have a default key assignment.  You can either
assign a key to the command using the Assign Key command or issue the
command using Execute Editor Command.

Description 

This command resets a single or Meta key reassigned with the Assign Key
command to its default command assignment.  For instance, if you had
reassigned the e key to another command, you could use the Reset Key
Assignment command to reset the key to the default Exit command.

Refer to the Assign Key command for complete information about assigning
keys to unassigned commands or reassigning keys to other commands.
