Enabling the Developer Console

You'll need to enable the dev console if you want to bind keys. Fortunately, this is quite simple.

Creating a bind

So now that you have the developer console enabled, we need to create a keybind.
This is pretty simple as long as you pay attention.

Binding a command to a key

Press [~] to open the developer console.
Type in the console "bind" then after a space press the key you want to bind an action to.
Next, you'd type the command you want binded to that key.
For example, if I wanted to bind "stopsound" to the key
, then I'd type:

bind p stopsound[/b][/list]

What if I wanted to bind a message that will be said in chat to a key?
That is possible, too, but it is a little tricky.

Press [~] to open the developer console.
Type in the console "bind" then after a space press the key you want to bind an action to.
This part is tricky, so follow very carefully!
Type ["say ] then what you want said in chat.
For example, if I wanted to bind an advert to the key
that will say "coolcool" then I'd type:

bind p "say /advert coolcool[/b][/list]

And that's all! Very simple. Please favorite and/or thumbs up if this helped you ;)
