Chat selection

Post by pharse »

Often I was very annoyed when I quickly wrote a long text into the chat window IG and before I sent it I noticed a spelling mistake at the very beginning...

Therefore my request: Is it possible to implement the possibility to change the selection within the chat window via mouse or perhaps with the num pad arrows (poor laptop useres :) )? Something like this would be very nice.

Whenever that happens to me and I can't be bothered to retype I just say e.g.

Alexrose: Hello I misspelled squirel in this sentence, and the sentence is so gargantuan that I can't be bothered to go back and correct it and, anyway, I'm lazy.
Alex: *squirrel.

well I try to avoid this if the uncorrected version doesn´t evolve any misunderstandings. It´s just unaesthatic :P

hm ok let´s widen it: by rereading my huuuge message I remark that I better use a different verbalization. (which could be achieved by simply changing one or two words)

I get annoyed at having to delete my messages for errors, I'd like to be able to select a place in the text with my mouse and change it there.

I also like that idea, since i regularly face the situation that i don't recognize typos until i've finished with my sentence. And since my emotes tend to grow quite large, it can get quite annoying at times. Such a feature would be pretty cool, and maybe even encourage players to write longer sentences.

I would appreciate such a function a lot as well. Can someone make a statement if it's possible or not?
