### 6.2 Working with the keyboard in the ECB-windows

ECB offers the `ecb-mode-map` which binds the most important functions of ECB to keys so you can easily use ECB in every window16 without a mouse.

IMPORTANT: Do not modify `ecb-mode-map` directly! The option `ecb-key-map` defines all ECB keybindings, including a common prefix-key (This is by default `C-c .`). If there are conflicts with other minor-modes or packages you can define very easy another prefix. Please read carefully the description of `ecb-key-map` (see ecb-general).!

The following sections describe special topics about using the keyboard in the ECB-tree-buffers:
