Binding Text Commands?

[usszim 35]

Hi, is there a way to bind text chat to buttons on the keyboard (such as on the numpad)? I would like to bind phrases such as "Friendly?" "I'm Friendly" and "RUUUNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!1!" so that I have a better chance of perhaps not getting shot if my mic isn't working.

You can try AutoHotKey or AutoIt to bind them to the keys. Not sure if they are against TOS or not though.

Does anyone else have some input on this? It would really come in handy.

I agree with this - binding phrases to the F keys would be good. The F keys already have commands binded in normal Arma so i wouldnt think it would be too much trouble to change what is said.

Autohotkey works great, I'm using it ingame to hit a single key, then autohotkey will open chat, write the message and send it. Keeps me free to focus on the important issues; like staying alive.

Nice Elias, I wasn't sure if it worked or not since I haven't really had a reason to bind stuff. However, my 12 buttons on my Naga are feeling kinda bored lately.
