You need to look into enlightenment_remote in e17. It has got command line 
logout and keybinding settings.



If you use zsh, then put the following lines in your ~/.zshrc (I don't 
know if there is an equivalent setting for bash shell):

# Completion for enlightenment_remote
compdef _gnu_generic enlightenment_remote

The above will provide you with basic command completion of 
enlightenment_remote's options :)



Once you have setup your key, mouse, etc bindings you can use this script 
to store them as a bash executable file (a lot of other settings are also 
stored):
