Autojump?

People keep telling me I just have to hold space to continually jump in Quake, regardless of the version I use, it doesn't happen, I can't find a setting or a bind for it anywhere, I'm fairly sure "_special" doesn't work, what's the deal with autojumping?

You buffer jumps. It's not really a "auto jump". Basically if you're in the air and start holding +jump you will automatically jump when you hit the ground. After that you've used that jump and you need to start holding space again to be able to jump again.

So if I want to get perfect bhops I will do a circle jump, let go of space, start holding space in the air, and now when I land it will jump for me. After I've jumped I need to let go of space and start holding it again so +jump will "refresh" and again when I land it will jump for me and just repeat this.

Oh, thank you, I my understanding of buffered jumping was incorrect.
