Adding reverse binds for android

Nov 10, 2011 don661 link
I started my first bind on android the other day trying to figure out how to bind
(example)

/bind "-" "IamAwsome". (hyphen)

Starting off thinking that I could type /IamAwsome and it would preform the actions of the - button

It was he opposite of what I wanted. So I then tried

/bind "IamAwsome" "-"

But I couldn't because it was a reverse bind.
I now wish that I would be able to /IamAwsome to preform the - action (targetless list switch)
And other stuff like that (potentally allowing Droidbuttons to have more flexibility.)
(-Yes I am aware that swiping changes targetless lists (just an example))

There should be an actual command that the - button is running. What you need to do is find out what that is. That's easy to do. Just run /bind (no options) and it will list the binds. If there are too many to read them all, exit VO, go to your vendetta folder, and read the errors.log file (open it as a text file).

Though, if you're going to go into your vendetta folder and read files, you could just read the wgaf.cfg file, without running any commands.

You need to make a command with /alias first, for example.

/alias tgftsuck "join 444 ; say_channel 'TGFT SUCK!!!!!!!' ; wait 1 tgftsuck"
/bind <key> tgftsuck

He's not asking how to bind. He's asking how to manually run the command that is bound to a key. For some reason he thought the bind command could be used in reverse to bind a key's action to a command, so that running the command would be like pressing the key.

But yeah, once he knows the actual command, he can /alias it to "IamAwsome" if he'd rather run /IamAwsome rather than /lsswitch (assuming that's the command he wanted - lsswitch is what is bound to my '-' key anyway).

lsswitch is handled on touch screen devices by swiping left or right. Additionally, don't forget that you can use /bind <key> to return the command bound to a specific key.
