Speed Up Your Gameplay with Custom Keybinds

Excerpt: Want to execute commands faster in FiveM? Learn how to bind actions to your keyboard for quick roleplay commands, emotes, or server features.

Why Bind Commands in FiveM?

Binding commands in FiveM allows you to perform actions instantly without having to type full commands into chat every time. Whether you're using emotes, voice chat toggles, or police roleplay functions, keybinds save time and improve immersion.

It's especially useful on RP servers where quick reactions matter. From dancing to hands-up gestures, you can assign almost anything to a single key.

Basic Syntax to Bind a Command

To bind a command, open the in-game console (F8) and use the following syntax:

bind keyboardKey "command"

Example:

bind f2 "e handsup"

This command binds the "hands up" animation to the F2 key using the /e emote command.

Most Common Bind Use Cases

  • 🎭 Emotes: bind f3 "e dance"
  • 👮 Police commands: bind f6 "mdt"
  • 🔇 Voice toggle: bind f10 "+voicetalk"
  • 🚗 Vehicle extras: bind f9 "toggleextras"

Important Notes

Make sure the key you're binding isn't already assigned to a core function or server command. Also, not all commands can be bound depending on how the server is scripted.

You can remove a bind using:

unbind keyboardKey

Example: unbind f2
