# What are keybinds all about?⤶
⤶
Keybinds allow you to add extra customisability to your controls whilst playing the game and allow you to:⤶
⤶
- Change aspects of your gameplay on the fly at the press of a button⤶
- Combine different actions into 1 or multiple buttons⤶
- Access different controls you usually are not able to unless you use the F1 console⤶
- Put your keyboard to full use and enhance your Rust experience⤶

#Creating your first keybind⤶
⤶
So you've come to the conclusion that you hate having to kill your character to respawn by pressing F1 each time and typing 'kill' as you learnt on the [commands page](https://wiki.facepunch.com/rust/F1/console)⤶
⤶
Let's make that more convenient for you! ⤶
⤶
Now hit F1 whilst in-game (You don't even have to be in a server!) and type out:⤶
```markdown⤶
bind k kill⤶
```⤶
Now anytime that you want to find yourself back on the respawn menu you can hit `k` and your character will drop dead like minnow out of a survival fishing trap! (Permitted that you haven't been trying to kill yourself too quickly and are on cooldown)⤶

#Keybind general formula ⤶
The general formula to create a keybind is as follows:⤶
```markdown⤶
bind key action⤶
```⤶
⤶
#The multi-key keybind⤶
So you've realised after a while of having your basic "tap k to kill yourself" keybind that you've off'ed yourself a good few times without even meaning to resulting in gamer-rage beyond belief.⤶
⤶
Luckily you can set keybinds so multiple keys are required to perform the action, here's how we can improve the previous kill keybind:⤶
```markdown⤶
bind [leftshift+k] kill⤶
```⤶
Now you'll have to hold `leftshift` (the shift key but the left one under `capslock`) and then tap `k` to kill your character which will result in a much safer hazard-free method which you won't fat-finger by accident
