Beginchat (Slash Command)

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 ;"

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.
