If you have the personal teleporter, you activate it with your ENTER key. I 
have ENTER bound to one of the thumb buttons on my mouse, making it very 
easy. Here are some examples of weapon binds.
//weapons
bind t "weapon 4" //nades
bind r "weapon 5" //Rocket
bind g "weapon 1" //Gauntlet
bind v "weapon 2" // Machine Gun
bind w "weapon 7" //rail gun
bind z "weapon 9" //BFG
bind BACKSPACE "weapon 6" //LG  <---mousewheel click
bind MOUSE3 "weapon 6" //LG
bind MWHEELDOWN "weapon 3" //shotgun
bind MWHEELUP ""weapon 8" //plasma
bind MOUSE1 "+attack"
You can manually change them in Quake III Arena\baseq3\q3config.cfg, open it 
with notepad and find the settings there. Better is to create a text file 
called autoexec.cfg and put it in \baseq3. Then put your custom binds and 
settings in that file. that way you won't overwrite them, and you can exec it 
when you play diff. mods.

Don't get too used to sitting and waiting, you need to learn how to do things 
at FULL SPEED, and keep moving. Otherwise, when there is a crowd, you will be 
blasted to bits. But you already experience that, I'm sure. :)
