Alsrir Report post Posted March 16, 2005 Bind- Mark a key to say something like #bind F1 "#gm Hey!" I've seen this technique used in many games and it seems to work, keeps everybody from typing the same constant thing over and over again. This would also help NHs do broadcast instead of having to copy and paste it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ghrae Report post Posted March 16, 2005 Probably not the Function keys as some of those are already in use... but perhaps Alt-F1 (etc...). I would love to see those used! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pigpen Report post Posted March 17, 2005 It might also be easier to add an 'alias' command. In most text-based muds, they get imped because people want shortcut commands of their own. If the usage was similar to those, it would look something like this: #alias greet #gm Hey! (typing 'greet' executes '#gm Hey!') #alias greet (displays what 'greet' is currently aliased to) #alias (shows all aliases) #unalias greet (removes the 'greet' shortcut that was created) That command may or may not be better than arbitrary keybindings, but it would have the advantage of being unlimited.

(typing 'greet' executes '#gm Hey!') #alias greet (displays what 'greet' is currently aliased to) #alias (shows all aliases) #unalias greet (removes the 'greet' shortcut that was created) And something like this: #alias for_sale (...) #alias list_books (...) Usage: @selling %for_sale /name_here I have %list_books It could be usefull Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Placid Report post Posted March 17, 2005 Too easy to abuse. This could be included in a custom client however. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
