Slash Command

/beginchat string

Starts chat-entry mode with given string.

  • String is the text you'd like to copy into the chat box.
  • /beginchat will activate the chat box and paste "string" into the chat line with your cursor at the end.
  • This command is not to be confused with /startchat which takes no arguments and simply activates the chat box.
  • Two of the game's default keybindings make use of this command:
    • COMMA "," - show chat$$beginchat /tell $target, 
    • SEMICOLON ";" - show chat$$beginchat ;
  • This command is useful as an alternate to /bind_load_file for loading in some text binds that need to be used immediately. Binds loaded using /beginchat tend to take effect immediately, whereas /bind_load_file often does not take effect until the character has moved to a new zone or after restarting the game client.


Example

  • /beginchat /send "channel name
    • note the trailing space.
    • Will open the chat box with /send "channel name"  in it.
  • /bind key beginchat /send "channel name" 
    • binds key to open the chat box with /send "channel name" in it for fast chatting on a global chat channel.
    • /bind LCTRL+key beginchat /send "channel name" [$name - $level $archetype]: 
      • same as above but with character name and archetype in the front, useful for team finding.
