How do I make chat shortcuts? Like  a key I can press to send a message to the team. It's difficult to type 'stop camping!!' or ' what in the world are you doing?!?!'

 This would make it easier to send common commands. I play on PC. please help.

And just to make it clear, I mean keyboard shortcuts.

Does no one know the answer?????

Go to settings, there is a panel/screen with all key-commands. You can see them there or reassign them to different keys. It's under the sprocket icon, bottom in the left menu in your garage.

I don’t think you can create your own messages and attach to a shortcut like the OP wants can you?

I’ll have to have a look on my Mac and Windoze laptop...

Oh right. i misread.

 

This is something i found for WOT PC. 

 

http://forum.worldof...hat-autohotkey/

 

It uses a third tool to bind keys to messages and sends then to wot. The same would work for wot blitz.

It requires a bit of tinkering, but it should work. There is also a Auto Hotkey version for Mac OS.

 

No idea if anything similar is available for mobile devices.

So there is no in-game option for this?

Too bad. I wouldve liked to have a hotkey for 'stop camping!!!'

Might be worth you trying the thing that works for WoT but yeah no in game option.

Download and install Phrase Express. Once active, it will work for every app in Windows, so exit once you're done. 

It's a bit slow to transform the shortcut into the sentence, but still faster than typing it whole. I have made instructions for the team, greetings and banter (and yes, insults). The hardest part is to make a shortcut that's fast and memorable and unlikely to come up as part of a word, because if you shorten, say, "Churchill" to Ch, the next time you type "Team to church", it will come out as "Team to ChurchillurChurchill".

 

A few examples:

AT> = All team >>>>>>>>>>>> please

DNGT = Do not go town

DNGA = Do not go A

RTST = Red team is in town (I could not use RTIT because of "partita" = "match" in Italian)

TATB = Turn around!! They are behind us!!!

TXMT = Thanks for saving my bacon mate

APWQ = Are you part of some welfare quota?

LQET = You lower the IQ of the entire team

Neat, will toy about with that one (i don't like AHK myself).
