Overview
A bind, also known as a keybind, is a reference for the game to understand what a particular key does. Almost every action in the game is inputted through a bind of some variety. The keys the game uses for basic controls are bound to commands, and through these, the game understands the commands you input. When you re-organize your keyboard through the options interface (Menu--> Options--> Keymapping tab), the game interface is re-binding keys for you.
For example, by default:
- "W" is bound to the command +forward.
- "1" is bound to powexec_slot 1.
- "F7" is bound to
say Ready!$$emote thumbsup.
In the above example, note that "F7" has the "$$" operator in it. This tells the game that it is actually 2 commands, separated by "$$", and that it's to execute them both in order from left to right.
Custom Keybinds
You can change a bind, or create your own binds, by using the slash command /bind or through Bind Files. Binds that you write and assign to keyboard keys yourself are called "Custom Keybinds" if they are different than the default binds in the selected keybind profile. Any player-made bind that exactly matches the default keybinding for that key is just considered by the game as the normal default keybind.
Default Keybinds
The default binds for your character are determined by the Keybind Profile that is selected. All new characters are created with the Modern keybind profile as the default. However, you may select one of 3 other keybind profiles that contain 3 different alternate sets of default keybindings. You can select your desired keybind profile by clicking on Menu--> Options--> Keymapping tab.
Bind Files
Bind Files are simple text files, which list a number of binds in a standardized format. This can allow you to load up multiple binds - or different sets of binds - for a character. You can even specify keys to load binds as part of a bind file's contents, allowing rotating text binds. If you use the /bind_save command, all of the custom, player-made keybinds on your character will be saved to the keybinds.txt file in the Default Folder.
