Keyboard mode activating abilities

[Majidah]

When playing with a gamepad, with the keyboard into automatic chat mode, if I press shift and 7 in order to input the / character and I have guard equipped on the 7th slot it triggers the skill and I'm switched into battle mode.

I don't know if it happens with any skill, but I do know it happens with guard, and its really annoying since every emote starts with /.

The same happens if you try to start with a number.
Someone asks you "hey, what's your rank?" and you try to type "50"... but instead you activate your number 5 skill. Played for 2 days like that and then turned it off and went back to hit space before writing.

I hear ya! Same thing is happenning to me, and i dislike when i start typing and it types 2 inicial letters on the automatic chat mode

yes the skill activation when i try to use a / command with the chat keyboard is a problem.
Right now my 7 slot is empty because of it.
the double initial letters that occur sometimes kinda bug me too

Greetings all!

The thread was moved over to General Discussion from In-Game Bug reports. It is quite annoying for that to happen so we understand the frustration. It's been placed here since it is more related to feedback/suggestions. We are aware of your concern though.
