keybinds

Keyboard action assignments

Keybinds are keyboard shortcuts assigned to specific actions in software, especially video games.

Players customize keybinds to suit their preferences or playstyle: I changed my keybinds so crouch is on C instead of Ctrl.

The singular keybind refers to one such assignment.

Also called key bindings or hotkeys.
