split chat key into different team and global chat keys

Post by Crymson »

It is pretty silly with the current way you talk to your teammates, any objections if I make a patch that splits this into two different keys?
t would be global chat, and enter would be team chat.

Is there a reason for the current way I should be aware of, before doing a patch?

Having free keys for other things maybe? Though I don't know if anyone intended to reuse t for anything after making enter the chat key.

Looks like t is used now for this keyAddMapping(KEYMAP_ASSIGNABLE,KEY_IGNORE,KEY_T,KEYMAP_PRESSED,kf_SetDroidGoToTransport, _("Go to Transport"));
is it OK to change that to shift-t ?
