    ChatKeys

    Version: 4.18
    by: Zax [More]

    Tired of opening the chat window and typing "/p " to start a party message, or "/g " to start a message on the guild channel?
    The main goal of this WoW AddOn is to allow you to bind keys - from the standard shortcuts panel - to start chat messages for all the following standard channels:
    - emote
    - say
    - yell
    - instance (if applicable, else party)
    - party
    - raid (if applicable, else instance ou party)
    - raid warning
    - BattleGround (if applicable, else Local defense)
    - guild
    - guild officers
    - General
    - Trade

    ChatKeys offers others bindable keys:
    - a key to start a message on 3 custom channels, defined with an settings panel (UI).
    - a key to start an emote (/em).
    - a key to whisper to a defined friend. This (girl/boy)friend's name can be defined with the UI.
    - a key to whisper to your target, assuming your target is a friendly player.

    Other features:
    - Optionnaly displays party numbers on raid channel.
    - Optionnaly plays a sound when receiving a whisp.
    - Optionnaly simplifies or removes some annoying chat prefixes.
    - Ability to define macros to start messages on desired channels - see supported slash-commands in the included ReadMe text file.


    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Quick Start

    Request
    Love the mod, thanks very much for creating.

    I have one request, if possible, could you make the following feature an option:
    - ChatKeys removes annoying [Guild], [Party], [Raid], [Whisper to], [Whisper from] prefix from chat. [Officer] prefix is replaced by [OFF]. [Read Leader] prefix is replaced by [LEAD]. [Raid alert] prefix is replaced by [ATT].
    I would prefer this mod not do this to my channels. It seems a bit out of place for this mod. Thank you.

    Don't know if u are updating this anymore. I hope so since it is a great addon...

    The latest patch broke it.

    This is such a great addon, and after having used it for so long, I can't deal without it. It looks like this broke because Blizzard changed the chat box in the last patch. Instead of one edit box, there is now one for each window. For a quick and dirty fix, I went into the ChatKeys.lua and in the section:
    ---------------------- CHANNEL CHANGE ----------------------

    I changed:

    function ckTapeMessage(prefixe)
    -- tape le debut du message dans la Chat Box pour ouvrir un canal
    if (not ChatFrameEditBox:IsVisible()) then
    ChatFrame_OpenChat(prefixe);
    else
    ChatFrameEditBox:SetText(prefixe);
    end;
    ChatEdit_ParseText(ChatFrame1.editBox,0);

    so that it reads:

    function ckTapeMessage(prefixe)
    -- tape le debut du message dans la Chat Box pour ouvrir un canal
    if (not ChatFrame1EditBox:IsVisible()) then
    ChatFrame_OpenChat(prefixe);
    else
    ChatFrame1EditBox:SetText(prefixe);
    end;
    ChatEdit_ParseText(ChatFrame1.editBox,0);
    end


    This at least gets it working again. The drawback is that by making the change, it will always open up the edit box on chat window number one. Since I have my chat UI set to classic mode anyway, it doesn't really matter. There's probably a much more elegant way of getting this working, but I don't have a deep enough knowledge of lua yet to do it. Hopefully the author is still maintaining this mod, because I have yet to find a anything that comes close to having this functionality. It truly is an outstanding mod.

    Thanks for reporting this bug. As the new patch isn't yet installed on french servers, I can't fix it right now.
    I'm gonna try to find some infos and fixes.

    Thanks Tescin for your hotfix


    EDIT: fixed in version 3.01

    4.0.1?
    I'd love to see an update for this. Now that I haven't got all my custom channels keybound, I'm feeling very confused when it comes to chat channels.

    This is (was) a very handy mod.

    Will you be updating for Mists?
