I'm pretty sure you can type anything after a "/nop" and it'll be ignored by the bindfile processor.
Just replace your "//" operators with "/nop".
Good luck.

Thanks for your answer, but /nop is just a command that does nothing. But it still is a command, so it won't work the way I want.
If I start the line with /nop, the bindfile processor will try to bind it, and will execute "/bind /nop", which obviously won't work. I tried it, and that's exactly what happened.

Strange... I've used the "/nop" command as an effective substitute for putting comments in bindfiles for years. Not sure what the difference would be. *shrugs*

If I'm not mistaken, you just want to hide the bindspam?
/bindloadfilesilent
should work. Note this command was given when they introduced bindspam and people (like myself) who have characters with rotating binds asked for a way to hide it. So using this over the standard /bindloadfile will produce NO confirmation whatsoever.

How about using a "fake" keybinding in order to put your comments ?
I looked at the List of Key Names on ParagonWiki, and since I don't have 8 buttons on my mouse...
Code:
It's not too elegant, but it might work (typing this from work, can't try it out myself).

NUMPAD1 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" NUMPAD2 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" NUMPAD3 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" NUMPAD4 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" BUTTON8 "nop" -- Pages up/down PAGEDOWN "powexecname INSERT_POWER" PAGEUP "powexecname INSERT_POWER" BUTTON8 "nop" -- Common for keyboard 1 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" SHIFT+1 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" 2 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" SHIFT+2 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" 3 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" SHIFT+3 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" 4 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" LSHIFT "powexecname INSERT_POWER" V "powexecname INSERT_POWER" X "powexec_name INSERT_POWER" ...

I'm pretty sure you don't have to "trick" it like that. Like I said I've used /nop for year as comments in bindfiles. Try it without the slash I guess. Again I don't really know why it's not working like it does for me. *shrugs*

The OP wants to put comment lines in his/her bindfiles. That has nothing to do whether it's "silent" or not.

@Rajani Isa : Thanks, that's not what I was looking for, but that could do the trick. However, I'd rather use comments, since output can be useful (especially when you use custom bind files).
@Archiviste : I thought of that, but it's not really what I'm looking for, since it doesn't make the bind file any easier to read.
@Lothic : I investigated the /nop problem, and here how it works : it can be any argument for any command (like "None" in Python). So if I put it before my "//", it will work. However, it doesn't solve the blank line problem.
In fact, the bind file processor reads blank lines like any other line, and then tries "/bind". Obviously, /bind without any argument won't work. If I add a "nop" on a blank line, it will add on argument to /bind, and do "/bind nop". /bind is still missing an argument, and won't work.
So what I did is I replaced every blank line with "nop -----------------", which is still easy to read, and works perfectly. So thanks for your answer, now I have my nice bind files, that look like that (I'm still working on them actually) :
Code:
Thanks everyone !
nop // Numpad... NUMPAD1 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" NUMPAD2 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" NUMPAD3 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" NUMPAD4 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" nop ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nop // Pages up/down PAGEDOWN "powexecname INSERT_POWER" PAGEUP "powexecname INSERT_POWER" nop ---------------------------------------------------------------------- nop // Common for keyboard 1 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" SHIFT+1 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" 2 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" SHIFT+2 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" 3 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" SHIFT+3 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" 4 "powexecname INSERT_POWER" LSHIFT "powexecname INSERT_POWER" V "powexecname INSERT_POWER" X "powexec_name INSERT_POWER"

Glad it worked out for you. Sorry about thinking it was "/nop" versus "nop" but I was going on memory and it's been a while since I cooked up a bindfile from scratch. You tend to forget details like that when you mostly cut-n-paste from older files.|

I'm currently working on a template for my bind files, in which I'm sorting binds according to... some things. In order to make it look nice, I'd like to add a title to each of my category. Here's an example of what I want to do :
My problem is that the /bindloadfile command seems pretty basic : it reads every line, and then does "/bind $line". Even when line is empty and/or incorrect. That doesn't prevent the bind file to load, but it spams the output.
So my question : is there a way to add a comment in a bind file ? i.e. is there a character that I can put at the begining of a line that will make /bindloadfile ignore that line ?
Thanks.
