Binding text to keys

[Grizzam]

Forgot how to do it, need to know how!

For example, want to bind my F8 key to say "Hello", what would I insert in console

 

[XavierB]

bind f8 "say Hello"

I believe.

bind f8 "say Hello"

I believe.

Yep. One note is that it has to be in quotes. You can do either:
bind f8 kill
bind f8 "kill"

But with multiple word commands (say etc), you need the quotes so that it doesn't return a syntax error.

now if you want really fancy you can add semi colons so you can do many commands at once!

bind f8 say "Winner Winner"; say "chicken dinner!"

That will actually return a syntax error. The quotes need to be around the entire command, which would include the say. Also, It will only bind f8 to say winner winner, and "say chicken dinner" will be executed the moment the bind command is executed.
