    If you're finding it a pain to type out somebody's full name you can just type the first three letters and hit tab key. This'll have the rest of the name pop up!

    You have to interact with them beforehand, but once that's out of the way you're all set!

    For example, if I player were to type 'F - A - D' and hit tab after say... sending me a tell they'd get 'Fadigre Delmonty' pop up in their auto-translate options


    I would like the option to designate shortcuts for players however. Such as '/t Fadi' would go directly to me if somebody were to choose to set it

    that's all well and good but as soon as you log out, it forgets any name you've typed. Also names with certain letter combinations never show up in auto-translate. All names in any linkshell you are a member of, at the very least, of should come up in auto-translate.

    Actually.
    I've logged in today, and decided to try out that function. Rather, I Was exploring what tab-complete was giving me. I went to page 5, saw [Audience] and thought "Wow, what's there?". I went to check, and there were... Player names. God, those were player names of people I haven't ever spoken to in my entire life except to comment on their weird names to my LS, and that was at the VERY least last a week ago.

    Then I tried starting to type the name of a person that wasn't on the list but was a friend of mine, hit tab, and there his name was.

    I think it saves older names.

    That's very strange. Multiple times a day, I try to toss an invite to an LS mate name Ulquiorra Schiffer, his name has never, ever, not a single time, come up in auto-translate.

    No matter if I've just sent him a /t, if I enter /pcmd add Ulq <tab>, his name never shows up.

    It's not just his name, but his is one I have issues with 100% of the time. It's how I memorized the spelling.

    interesting. I must try that. I can say for myself I have never had much need to direct /tell many people.
    most of the time I'm /p or /l the few times I direct tell i only type the name once and ^r for replys
