Fast Character Description

Post by Borine »

How do characters always instantly get their character description up and it's always the same?

Type the #me description and press Ctrl+F2. This will save the description. Whenever you need it, press F2 and press enter to show it. This goes up to F6 for any shortcuts you may need.

If you have nothing saved on such a key it says you talk too fast.

Type the text in your chatbox, but don't send it. Then press simultaneously "Ctrl" and "F2".

Don't press the shortcuts too quickly. There's a small delay after you press one.

Also, there seems to be a bug that after you select a shortcut and the text appears, it will disappear after about a second, though it would still be there (ie. it apepars if you press enter. Or if you type something else it will re-appear)

It's far easier to right click after typing your text (without hitting enter)and select "save description". This automatically hotkeys it onto F2.

Then use the ctrl/Fkey feature for loading text onto the other hotkeys F3-F7.

Just want to point out that you must right click on the text area, not anywhere else. :)

How is that easier? If you're using f3-f6 anyway you may as well use it for f2. It takes about quarter of the time on the keyboard than it does on a mouse.

works also with shift (ctrl+shift+F-key for saving and shift+F-key for recalling), so you can have twice the macros.

I use to put german versions on standard and english versions on shift ;)
