key bindings

[blondandy]

preamble
I have been reading the code trying to understand how the keyboard input works for stuff like crouching, c.

I think Cmd_AddCommand is involved in buttons, and maybe more.
Key_SetBinding gets called when I use bind from the console.

here's the dumb question.
I cant see where the c key is bound to the standcrouch command.

I would be grateful if someone could outline the steps involved in wiring up a keystroke to a function. (maybe you could point me to some general tutorial on the web which describes how this sort of thing is done in c).

have a look at the bind and unbind console command - also have a look at keys.cfg

[blondandy]

doh! - I assumed it would be done in a *.ufo or in the code.

I totally forgot about the *.cfg. I have used the bind and undbind console commands.

one more question:
are the cfg files simply acted upon as if they were typed in at the console?

[Mattn]

yes
