I wanted to update/clean a bit my config that is now about 3 years old but I run into a problem.
I'm a bit surprised by the scope of the quotation marks.

Indeed, it looks like

set set_default_mouse1    bind MOUSE1 "+attack; +vstr low_sensi high_sensi"

has the same behavior of

set set_default_mouse1    "bind MOUSE1 +attack; +vstr low_sensi high_sensi"

The error I got on the console says that "+vstr" is called outside of a key-press/release, which means it is called with as a second instruction of the "set".
Do you see any way to enforce the expected behavior?

I think it is not possible to do a multi action bind within a cvar.
Basically because you can not nest quotation marks. iirc it will always expect them to start after the 1st argument of the 1st set or bind.

Scematic workaround, with quite a dangerous combination of +vstr and +attack

set set_default_mouse1 "bind MOUSE1 +vstr low_sensi high_sensi";
set low_sensi "+attack;sensitivity [low]";
set high_sensi "-attack;sensitivity [high]";

Note the -attack, which is required because +attack isnt in the arguments of bind anymore and therefor -attack isnt automatically called.

Also note that i wouldnt use +vstr combined with +action's. It might happen that e.g. your fps vary and then you release mouse1 and it keeps spraying.
Even though in this case you could just fire again and it should stop once you release mouse1.....

i just considered that one could probably move the binds into a separate config, which might allow bind MOUSE1 "+attack;+vtsr A B"; to work.

I'm trying to get the behavior I'm describing to keep my config clear.
I already have working scripts that change depending which other key is pressed. The idea behind my update was to centralize at some place the behavior of a key, instead of duplicating it everywhere every time I'm changing it.

You're only taking my changes back to my existing config :/

i assumed as much :P
i did A LOT of scripting back in the day. (1st link in my signature)

"sad" but true story is that you probably wont have any other choice in this case
