The what-s and why-s of my Xonotic config

Code:
// I'll not paste the entirety of my keyboard config, but here are some of the 

// more interesting binds. I use ESDF for movement and everything is centered

// around quick access from there. 

bind a "weaplast"

bind MOUSE2 "+jump"

bind MOUSE3 "+fire2"

bind SPACE "+zoom"
