The best keybinds for Rust

gamepur.com:

Rust is a multiplayer survival game, and as such, there is a constant need to be more efficient and aware. You have to pay attention to your UI, surroundings, alerts, and much more, so that means that being better prepared helps. Now, there is obviously a lot that you can do in-game to prepare for anything, but there is a certain aspect that you can also control that helps you in the long run. We are talking about making sure that you have all your keybinds setup in such a way that you feel comfortable while playing.

When you’re playing Rust, you will have some basic controls such as jumping, running, and crouching, as well as your default hotbar that uses the numeral scheme. But the default setup is largely useless to help you play more efficiently or to respond to sudden changes in the environment. Luckily, there are ways to set up your keybinds in Rust in such a way that you can optimize your actions, and even automate some of the tasks that you have to perform. Follow our guide to set up the best keybinds for Rust.

To add new keybinds in Rust, or to replace any that you may have added, you will have to go through the console and use the console commands. Fortunately, this is very simple to do, as all you need to do to access the console is to press the F1 key on your keyboard. You will see the console input space pop up in the lower left corner of your UI. After you’ve entered all of the keybinds that you want to have, you can save them to the locally by using the command ‘writecfg’.

Alternatively, you can also locate the ‘cfg’ folder in your Rust game folder. By default, this would be something like: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Rust\cfg

You can open the config file by
