Should keyboard shortcuts change the channel of a typed message?

Forgive me if I missed a post about this, but my searches didn't show anything.

I think that if I press Ctrl+P or type /p and then elaborate an elaborate response to my linkshell, I should be able to press Ctrl+L to fix my mistake... This isn't game breaking, but at the same time I don't know if it would take too much effort to change. It would be slightly less annoying if the mouse was more useful when trying to move the cursor in text. v_v

Will the extra button presses kill me? No. But I still think this would be nice. :)

If you press Ctrl+X to choose X channel, and then press Ctrl+Y, it will change. However, if you type "/X Messagemessage" and then press Ctrl+Y, it changes your default channel, as if you'd pressed Ctrl+Y and hit enter in addition to sending the text command "/X Messagemessage". I edited the OP as well.

I think no matter what method was used to select a channel initially, pressing Ctrl+L should change the /p or /s into a /l. Again, though, it's not game-breaking to find the Home button on my keyboard and correct the letter.

And if this is still just my client acting up, please don't hate, just tell me so I can get it recorded and submit a bug report. /shrug

Um, you can do this already.

Pressing CNRL-P/L/T/R/etc should insert/replace /party. /linkshell, etc... at the start of the line.

It hasn't been working for me, I tried. QQ

I worded this message poorly. I kind of figured it should work like this, but it doesn't. >.> That's why the title is "Should....?" I couldn't tell if it was a bug or not. :<

It does. It doesn't change the color of the text until you type another character though, but it does change the channel

That's normal behavior, not a bug.

Do you like it that way, though? :/ I'm pretty sure XI managed to change the channel even if you did type out the console command.. :s

They could set it up like this, but will probably end up very low on their priority list.

Yeah, I'm not trying to push this to the top or anything. ^^; Like I said, it's not terribly important, just something that gets on my nerves every once in a while when I'm in a hurry and mt something twice before I remember I have to go back and fix it manually. v.v''
