Rust Keybinds

Copy-paste ready Rust keybinds for combat, movement, and quality of life.

How Rust Keybinds Work

Rust keybinds allow you to bind actions or console commands to a specific key, letting you perform actions instantly without manually typing commands.

Players commonly use keybinds to improve combat efficiency, streamline movement, and add quality-of-life shortcuts during gameplay.

Once a keybind is added, it stays active until you remove or overwrite it.

Adding & Saving Keybinds

  • Press F1 in-game to open the Rust console
  • Paste the keybind command and press Enter
  • Run writecfg to save your keybinds permanently
  • Use unbind <key> to remove a keybind
