Lua for making a server wide keybind make you say something in chat?

What lua would make a server wide keybind make you say something in chat?

Also, [img]http://wiki.garrysmod.com/favicon.ico[/img] [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Player/ConCommand]Player:ConCommand[/url] with 'say YOUR STRING HERE' as the command

Can I get an example using both of those?

Not tested and probably not the best answer but I would probably do something like this. The isHeld variable is because the function is called every tick from the Think hook, so we need to make sure that the message is only said once per key press.

local isHeld = false
function keyBind()
	if input.IsKeyDown(KEY_[your key here]) then
		if !isHeld then
			isHeld = true
			LocalPlayer():ConCommand("say [your message here]")
		end
	else
		isHeld = false
	end
end
hook.Add("Think", "Key Bind Think", keyBind)

No point in adding the isheld variable if you're going to run LocalPlayer():ConCommand() after checking if the key is down.

I just noticed that right after I posted, I fixed it already :p

Why not use [URL="http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/GM/KeyPress"]GM/KeyPress[/URL]

KeyPress uses [url=http://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Enums/IN]IN enums[/url] which means it only works with existing binds. IsKeyDown works with [url=https://wiki.garrysmod.com/page/Enums/KEY]KEY enums[/url] which work with the whole keyboard.
