Hotkeys?

Yeh,I remember old times when there were a Proposal Board...

So be it,I'll post it here.

I've searched for the keyword 'hotkey' and got some more or less useless threads (to be exact,2) that didn't even got close to the topic I'd like to start.
Maybe it's already been on the former Proporsal Board,which is now
gone :roll:

Anyway...
Is it planned/in work or maybe already done and I'm only blind,to have hotkeys that,after putting text on them once,with a push of a certain key,enters this line in the chat window~??
Yeh,like in Tibia >_>
I see nothing wrong with it,if there are for example the other F-keys(6 to 10) that can be setted with a text.
e.g.I put the text:" #me is a <explicite descritpiton of a char> " at the F7 key.
Now everytime I press this key the text will be shown in the chat window enter field! Not already 'said',but able to change minor parts,lets say,the last 5 words or something like this.So if the char rushes into a group of ppl that don't know him yet and he wants them to know how he looks like.
This function can be used for other long-standart-sentences as well.

If anyone sees anything bad with the idea,just bring it on.I can't find any reasons this might be abused.At least now there won't come any reasons in my mind...watch the time xD A'ight,gotta go to sleep.Hope someone reads and answer this thread,especially developers and GM s <whistle>


On a little sidenote: Ever realized the little description of an item laying on the ground changes after clicking it multiple times? My Snake sword showd the first time I clicked on it: It's a brandnew sword
The second time it said: It's a used sword (something like this,got German version~)
The third time again something totally different...same with clothes,that change from 'old and ripped clothes' to 'worn clothes'

Most of the F keys already have a designated function though. !setself blah blah blah, then when you want to display that type !self and it automatically says it. I recall some people asking for such a thing but not proposing it. Sounds decently useful, not sure about the time/work implementing it might be however. Oh and, you can only get a very good idea of something when your the craftsman who makes such things.

Oh does this !setself thingy work with #me's aswell? then I would type how my char looks like, so I dont have to write it everytime ^^

I think you should be programmed like an NPC. If someone says: #me examines <name> then you should have an auto-set examination.

And if it says: #me examines the crowd, you can mannualy type in just: "#me" and it will give the examinttion.

No accually I meant that, that could possibly be the two functions that operate this thing. I didn't intend to imply you could do it, this is after all a proposal.
