You can nest multiple quoted strings in a single line by escaping each new set of quotes with backslashes.

bind [key] "bind [key] \"[command/setting] [value]; bind [key] \\\"[command/setting] [value] \\\"\""

As the quoted strings go deeper, you also need to escape the backslash. Since each new layer will again un-escape them, you need to double the amount of backslashes per layer. The maximum amount of layers you can use is 5 before the console gives you an error.

As the quoted strings go deeper, you also need to escape the backslash. Since each new layer will again un-escape them, you need to double the amount of backslashes per layer. The maximum amount of layers you can use is '''5''' before the console gives you an error. This is because the console has a maximum character limit of '''255'''. The amount of backslashes for 6 layers is '''240''' (1*2 + 3*2 + 7*2 + 15*2 + 31*2 + 63*2), leaving you with only '''15''' characters.
