In my experience, the syntax also works without the letter quotes. For example, bind x "impulse101" works fine. Of course bind "x" "impulse 101" also works, but I don't see the point of doing unneccesary typing. --Darthkillyou 20:32, 19 May 2007 (PDT)

Then try binding ent_fire !picker ignite without quotes. The unneccesary typing is needed in anything except the simplest situations. --Angry Beaver 20:46, 19 May 2007 (PDT)

Keyboard layout image?

I got an idea for the people here that have different layouts, cause figuring out what key the game thinks you got is difficult sometimes.
For example, the key left of 1 on US layout has a ~ on it. When i press that button in the ingame keybond menu, it shows up as a /. But this key on my CH layout only produces § and °.
I was considering making a visual representation of a keyboard with whatever keys the games consider there to be, but i'm not sure if it should be just a JPEG, or some thing where people could copy the characters.
Also, just to make sure that these keys are actually the same for all language layouts, is that key also a / for you?
Thoughts? --MrFunreal (talk) 04:53, 13 March 2025 (PDT)

The "tilde" (~) key on a US keyboard is actually a backtick (`); tilde is what gets typed when you hold shift.

Dang, so that idea is pretty much out of the window, i guess? Perhaps adding a note of "If you don't know what key you want, use the ingame kebind menu to find out" would be the easiest solution.
