How do console binds work?

I always run into the same issue, i bind a command to a key, then i can’t replace nor remove it. I have to hunt down the game files to remove it, and this time i can’t even find where it is stored.
I don’t want to reset all my config, how do you delete a keybind?

The keybinds file is at:
Windows: %appdata%\Space Station 14\data\keybinds.yml
MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/data/keybinds.yml
Linux: ~/.local/share/Space Station 14/data/keybinds.yml

Command keybinds are currently not shown in a ui in any way. Or have an easy easy way to be managed. Thus currently they are only either only managed by the bind console command or by manually editing the keybinds file. This is something we wish to change

In the meantime you can just remove the entry by editing the file

Note: I suggest taking a backup of the keybinds file just in case, if the file does not end up being a valid yml file it may cause issues with the game such us your binds appearing reset or crashing. There are yaml validators online to ensure your file is fine.

There was an issue where the bind was not saved in the file. That is why i could not find it in that file.
But it was still working in game. I guess i have to restart the game for the bind to be removed (?)

Yeah the bind command to my knowledge does not save to the keybind file until you make another general modification (you can tell it’s not supposed to be used by regular players :clueless: )

Yes, you’re supposed to run svbind afterwards.

Unbind, reload*, hotkey*, etc.
