<string> - This should be match a HUD hint entry in
hl2\resource\valve_english.txt
or its localized equivalent. Example: entering "#Valve_Hint_Zoom
" (without the quotation marks) will display the following hint text: "%+zoom% ZOOM VIEW", with %+zoom% being the key currently bound to the zoom function.
Warning:Entering raw text will not allow the message to be translated between user languages.
Note:In and potentially other games, the % character interacts differently with text. Displaying keybinds found in the resource folder may force any text after the % character to display on a new line.
