***This command will bind a command to a key. The command will only be active
when the key has been pressed and there is no key overriding interface
page active (menu, configuration window, etc.). This is suitable for
things that switch states each time you hit the key. For showing things
only when you have the key down add the @hold option at the end of the
command.

System Bindings:
***This command binds keys to the system keys. The following are the system keys:

forward - move player forward.
back - move player backward.
strafeleft - move player to the left.
straferight - move player to the right.
crouch - crouch the player down.
fire1 - use the first fire mode of the gun.
fire2 - use the second fire mode of the gun.
lookup - move the player vision upwards.
lookdown - move the player vision downwards.
lookright - rotate the player to the right.

jump - make the player jump.
nextweapon - select the next weapon.
prevweapon - select the previous weapon.
weapon0 - select weapon 0 for your weapon.
