## Command Syntax

Most commands follow a standard syntax:

chimera_<command_name> [parameters]
```

### Boolean Commands

Many commands accept boolean values:

```bash theme={null}
chimera_show_fps true   # Enable
chimera_show_fps false  # Disable
chimera_show_fps 1      # Enable (numeric)
chimera_show_fps 0      # Disable (numeric)
```

### Numeric Parameters

Some commands accept numeric values:

```bash theme={null}
chimera_fov 90          # Set field of view to 90 degrees
chimera_af 16           # Set anisotropic filtering to 16x
```

### Multi-parameter Commands

Certain commands require multiple parameters:

```bash theme={null}
chimera_console_prompt_color 255 0 0  # Set console color to red (RGB)
chimera_mouse_sensitivity 2 1         # Set horizontal and vertical sensitivity
```

## Quick Setup Commands

### Block All Bullshit

Chimera provides a convenient command to disable multiple annoying features at once:

```bash theme={null}
chimera_block_all_bullshit
```

This command automatically runs:

* `chimera_block_gametype_indicator 1`
* `chimera_block_gametype_rules 1`
* `chimera_block_hold_f1 1`
* `chimera_block_loading_screen 1`
* `chimera_block_mouse_acceleration 1`

## Persistent Settings

Commands you execute are automatically saved to `preferences.txt` in the chimera folder. This ensures your settings persist between game sessions.

## Hotkeys

You can bind commands to keyboard shortcuts using the hotkeys feature in `chimera.ini`. See the included configuration file for examples.
