It's the same keys as the original Doom - so you can hit F1 to see the help screen.

Quicksave: Hit F6, pick a save slot (name it) then when you want to quicksave again, hit F6. It will ask if you want to quicksave over the previous save, but you only have to press Y to confirm. I don't know if that behaviour can be overridden.

Quickload: Hit F9, again it will ask for confirmation.

The F-keys can, in fact, be rebound from the console and have associated console commands. The F6 key is quicksave, while the F9 key is quickload. So if, for some reason, you wanted to set that to the A button on your Xbox controller, you'd pull down the console and put in bind Pad_A quicksave. The yes/no prompts in the menus have long since been changed to actual menu selections, too, so you can also answer them with the gamepad if you're so inclined.

There is another option, too; GZDoom lets you save Quake-style as well. With the console command save <filename> and load <filename>, you can give a specific save file name for it to save or load, without prompting. Be warned, however, that binding keys to this means they'll only ever be associated to that one file, no matter what game you're playing!

Actually that doesn't always work, if you create all the saves in the same session you can't choose besides you can select the slot too with save or quickload twice. In LZDoom i fixed that long ago and you can select only with quicksave but really it's not worth changing it.

yeah that is a way to do it but I had a key bind that would quick save and quick load without having to name it or anything it but I reset my settings to default because I messed up something and now that key bind is gone and I cant find the key bind command I used any were. I might just have to use f6 and f9

widweasel's post pretty much tells you how to do it.

type the following at the console

bind [key] "save [filename] [description]"
bind [key] "load [filename]

Where [key] is the key you want to bind, [filename] is the name of the file and [description] is the description that will appear in the save/load dialogue.

e.g.

bind s "save mysave MyCoolGame"
bind l "load mysave"
