Sending Messages
If your mouse is in the tactical or galactic window, press
the 'm' key. Your cursor will change to a text-insertion I
bar.
Alternatively you could move your mouse into the
message-sending window or one of the message receiving
windows.
Addressing
If you start your message in your team review window, it
will automatically be addressed to your team.
Otherwise the next character you type determines where
your message is sent.
- A
- sends to all.
- T
- sends to your team.
- G
- sends to GOD (usually logged as a bug report).
- F,R,K,O
- sends to Fed,
Rom, Kli, or Ori team.
-
0,1..9,a,b..v
- sends to the player with that number.
Composition
The rest of the characters you type are part of the
message. There are a couple of special keys.
- Return
- sends the message.
- Esc
- aborts the message without sending.
- Backspace, Delete
- delete character.
- ^W
- delete word.
- ^U, ^X
- kill line.
Note: the control chacters don't work in current releases of the
client. We're working on it... (Editor: really ? )
