In this article I want to show example of with binding, buttondown and buttonup (useful for touchscreens, but in that case you will use touchstart, touchend).
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="/myButtons.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="/index.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="/knockout-3.2.0.js"></script>
	</head>
	
	<body onload="doTheApply()">
		<span data-bind="template: { name: 'myTemplate'}"></span>
		
		<script type="text/html" id="myTemplate">
			<div data-bind="with: myButtons">
				<div data-bind="event: {mousedown: down}">I will be executed on mouse down</div>
				<div data-bind="event: {mouseup: up}">I will be executed on mouse up</div>
			</div>
		</script>		
	</body>
</html>
Here notice with: myButtons.
myButtons.js:
window.myWithButtonsModel = window.myWithButtonsModel || {};
(function(ns) {
	ns.myWithButtonsModel = function() {
		var myButtons = new Button();
	
		function Button() {
		
			return {
				down: function() {
					console.log("Hi, I am called on button down event.");
				},
				up: function() {
					console.log("Hi, I am called on button up event.");
				}
			}
		}
		
		return {
			myButtons: myButtons,
		}		
		
	}
}(window));
Here notice how I introduced method myButtons
index.js:
function doTheApply() {
	model = new window.myWithButtonsModel();
	ko.applyBindings(model);
}
And here notice how applied model, this is basically same as from knockout example.

One simple example of custom binding.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <script type="text/javascript" src="/knockout-3.2.0.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="/index.js"></script> </head> <body> <div data-bind="myBinding: myObservable">Click me</div> </body> </html>
JS:
ko.bindingHandlers.myBinding = {
	init: function (element, valueAccessor) {
		element.addEventListener("click", iWasClicked, false);
		function iWasClicked() {
			alert("I was clicked");
		}
	}
}
window.onload = function() {
	ko.applyBindings();
}
Init part will be always executed from ko.bindingHandlers.myBinding, and inside that method I implemented function iWasClicked.
Binding looks like this: data-bind="myBinding: myObservable" where myObservable actually I don't need.

Idea is to change template on button click.
So, here is small example.
HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
	<head>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="/index.js"></script>
		<script type="text/javascript" src="/knockout-3.2.0.js"></script>
	</head>
	<body onload="DoApply()">
		Persons:
		<script type="text/html" id="father-template">
			<button data-bind="text: name, click: myClick"></button>
		</script>
		
		<script type="text/html" id="childrens-template">
			<span data-bind="text: name, click: myClick"></span>
		</script>		
		<span data-bind="template: {name: getTemplate, foreach: myNames}"></span>
		
	</body>
</html>
JS:
function MyViewModel() {
	var self=this;
	self.myNames =  [
		{name: 'Stanko', template: ko.observable('father-template')},
		{name: 'Milosev', template: ko.observable('childrens-template')}
	]
	
	self.name = "test";
	self.fatherName = ko.observable("father-template");
	self.childrenName = ko.observable("childrens-template");
	self.template = ko.observable("childrens-template");
	
	myClick=function() {
		this.template() == "childrens-template" ? this.template("father-template") : this.template("childrens-template")
		//this.template("childrens-template");
	};
	
	self.getTemplate = function(data) {
		return data.template();
	}
}
function DoApply() {
	ko.applyBindings(new MyViewModel());
}
