Howdy,

E.g., for

"~f" = "moveForwardTo$:";

use

<key>~f/key>
<string>moveForwardTo$:</string>

and place the lines just before the 

</dict>

line. To make it pretty indent the lines to line up with the lines before the </dict>.

BUT... I don't recommend using those key bindings since some of them are already bound to other things by default. Note ^=Ctl and ~=Opt.

Good Luck,
