Learn how to create and use a personal Quake config file (myconfig.cfg) to save bindings and aliases, automatically loading them every time you start Quake.

Typing all your bindings and aliases every time you play Quake would be a real pain, so Quake lets you use a personal config file.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Load up EDIT, notepad, or your preferred text editor.
  2. 2
    Type in all of your bindings and aliases.
  3. 3
    Save the file as 'myconfig.cfg' in the /id1/ directory.

Quake will automatically load 'myconfig.cfg' for you every time you start Quake.
