Replace key with the actual key for example 6 for the teleport sign post will be: /bind 6 "gensendmessage Vipaction_Overworldmapteleport activate"
numpad6 for the same will be: /bind numpad6 "gensendmessage Vipaction_Overworldmapteleport activate"

I rearranged the layout and my character icon is in the middle of the bottom of my screen. Click the VIP logo beside the character icon is convenient enough for me. Bind a key is good but for myself, I bind enough keys and start to forget what does what.

Actually, because of a similar problem (to many binds and I forget some), I personally use aliases instead. I'll copy paste part of the explanation from the guild page (I've removed the actual channel names):
In game Aliases use the syntax:
/Alias new_name command_or_channel
For example for channels /Alias f channel_name will make /f behave like /z /g /p by writing /f and pressing space it will change to the channel_name channel.
Command will work similarly to regular command for example:
/Alias ah "genaddwindow auction_root"
will set /ah as a command for the Auction House, so writing /ah and enter, will open the AH window.
To make the aliases persistent over relogs and available to all chars they must be added to a game file.
A text file named "CommandAliases.txt" should be made in "NeverWinter\Neverwinter\Live\localdata" folder.
In it each alias per line without the "/" for example:
alias f channel_name alias ah "genaddwindow auction_root" alias defeat "gensendmessage Stuck_Defeatme activate" alias killme "gensendmessage Stuck_Defeatme activate" alias bank "gensendmessage Vipaction_Bankvendor activate" alias shop "gensendmessage Vipaction_Professionvendor activate" alias tp "gensendmessage Vipaction_Overworldmapteleport activate" alias ml "gensendMessage Vipaction_Mailbox activate" alias salvage "gensendmessage Vipaction_Salvager activate" alias anvil "gensendmessage Vipaction_Salvager activate"
So for example to salvage something I just type /salvage in chat and have the thingie summoned. Or /tp to teleport and such. It may be a bit longer than binding, but for me it's way more intuitive and faster than thinking were was that thing or how I summon it. (But I'm old enough to had to use DOS command line and still use command lines, so I may be biased)
my binds are still a bit of a mess. "genaddwindow map_root" doesn't function as a toggle like it used to, so pressing {map key} again doesn't make it disappear. also mucked up my /Mail LOL! But maybe for the better, now pressing the mail icon on top of screen doesnt pull up my mail window, but summons my mail portal... handy it turns out. Would still like to know how to unbind aliases though if anyone has any idea? i'm reinstalling the client now hoping something happens

No, you don't need to reinstall, just remove the alias. Aliases are not persistent like binds, they reloaded each time and on file change. Remove from the file, restart client, and you are done. Adding or changing even doesn't need restart, just save the file and that is it.
In this case, simplest is just to rename the map, mail to something else, like in th example I've pasted, and make sure to not have any other map, mail lines in the alias file. Restart the game and map, mail will return to their defaults.
@micky1p00 Thanks for the response! I typed it out in chat only and didn't make a file. By renaming the alias to something like `/alias mailbox ...` restores the default setting of `/mail` is it? I hit the panic button too soon. Good to know for future reference. Cheers!

>.< LOL HELP I aliased "map" for the travel signpost, now my zone map doesn't work. How do you un-alias or unbind an alias?the mess up: /Alias map "gensendmessage Vipaction_Overworldmapteleport activate"
fix: /Alias map "genaddwindow map_root"
EDIT - Please don't avoid the profanity filter

Any chance of collating some of this stuff and making it a sticky?

if you didn't make a file then just close the game and start it. It will restore all defaults for aliases.They are not saved anywhere.
