Bind a name

[Fireye]

Hey there all knowing ibis. I'm trying to bind a key to reset my player name. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but because there are special characters in my name, CS:S adds spaces after them. My bind current looks like:
bind "F8" "name {US}Fireye"

... but because the command executed is name {US}Fireye, it adds spaces between the brackets. I've tried escaping an extra set of quotes around the {US}Fireye, but they don't work. Single quotes don't work either. Does anyone know how I could bind a key to do exactly:
name "{US}Fireye"

did u try doing it on WORD then copy and paste?

Fireye, did you try including escape characters? Such as "\{US\}Fireye"? From my programming experience with ASCII escape codes, I think that might work...

DeadEyeDeNNi$ ... um... :banghead::lmao:

[acolyte_to_jippity]

yeah, escape chars are probably your best bet

Unfortunately, the usual backslash-escape was a no-go. It put a literal backslash in my name.

Well fuck Valve.

I guess find out what their escape sequence is.

i've googled and i can't for the life of me find a way to do it.

Neither did I... Why can't you just input your name manually into the name field in "Options," Fireye?

It saves your name properly (without spaces) to cfg/config.cfg with some delimiter characters, of which I don't know the ASCII code.

As Mick Jagger said, you can't always get what you want :violin:

[Fireye]

Yeah, the grand vision I had was binding F8 and F9 to be
name "{US}Fireye"
name "{US}Fireye <ibis.a>"

That way I could easily pop the tag on and off as needed. I'm pretty sure there's no way to bind it, too bad. Thanks for looking though, guys!
