Bind Keys for Counter Strike

Counter Strike has a lot of mods (modification of the game which changes the gameplay altogether) and some of them change your controls without your permission. Now you need to know how to fix it. There are two methods. One method utilities the standard GUI (Graphic User Interface) interface, the other one, obviously, is CUI (Command User Interface) in nature. This article will discuss both.

Steps

Using the GUI Interface Provided by Valve

  1. Start the game. Go to Options -> Keyboard Tab
  2. Locate the desired action whose bind you want to change and then change it.

Using the CUI Interface

  1. Start the console (The ~ button beside the '1' key)
  2. Write [bind "<key name>" "<action name>"] without the brackets but the quotes will be there. Then hit enter and you're done.

Tips

  • Every time 'p' is pressed, this message is flashed at your team mates.
  • You can bind chat messages to your keys about your position or status. Look at the example below.
  • Bind "p" "say_team Sniper at long or at pit. Watch out!"
  • For climb/kreedz plugin, you can bind /cp and /tp to keys for faster saving and teleporting

Things You'll Need

  • A very good idea about the different actions and the name of the various keys. Take a look at your config.cfg file inside your cstrike folder for understanding.
