Is there a bind to do search faster?

Post by darkmwar »

each time i search forsomething, i have to type this in console: bind = {search name}; hldjsf
Is there a way to bind it so that when the binded key is pressed, the game will ask for me for a word to search, instead of typing the whole thing into the console, perhaps a little command box to type the search word in?

It's not really possible for HLDJ to use a pop up box in-game.
Instead, try re-alias "hldjsf" as something shorter, say "s":

Code: Select all

alias s hldjsf
...
bind = [search name]; s
That reduces it down to 10 characters, which should be faster to type than having to fuss with a search box (even if it were possible).
