Slash Command
Used to bind a keyboard key or button to do nothing.
A "no operation" command, or "nop" command, is necessary to make a key do nothing because of the way the keybinding system works. Nearly all keyboard keys start with a default keybinding. In order to make a key do something other than its default keybind, we can use the /bind command to assign a custom keybind to that key. The default keybinding can not be deleted or overwritten, instead the custom keybind is placed on top of the default keybind as a kind of second layer. When the key is pressed, the game overrides the default keybind and replaces it with the custom keybind. The /unbind command merely resets the key to its default keybinding. So if a player wishes for a key to do nothing, they must bind a custom keybind onto that key using a slash command that does nothing... /nop.
- "Nop" is an abbreviation for "no operation"
- Instead of /nop, some players bind a key to double quotes ("") or double quotes with a space in-between (" "). However, according to the devs binding /nop to a key is the preferred method to make a key do nothing as it has zero chance to generate errors.
Example
/bind H nop
