i use /cm alot but i still use /p /l even with it cos i find /cm is buggy.

i can have /cm l set and be talking to a linkshell. some guy in my party will ask a question so i go to type /p to answer it. but if someone answers before me i hit exc to cancel and now my chat mode is /cm p or similar if i reply to a /t then my chat mode becomse /t to them.

the generic reason i and most others in this topic want a simple /l1 message, /l2 message system is because its simple it's quick and it's easy. and i still think that if we have to hit a hot key to change shell type a message and hit another hot key to change back then it's just making the whole system more complicated.

it would be like hit a hot key to talk to linkshell.
hit a hot key to shout in uldah. hit another hot key to talk to party.

theres a reason why we have /p /sh /s /l and we don't have hot keys for them. its the same reason we shouldnt need hot keys for /l1 /l2 /l3 etc
