About ChatKeys
Tired of opening the chat window and typing "/p " to start a party message, or "/3 " to start a message on the defense channel?
Chatkeys allows you to bind keys and start chat messages for the following standard channels:
- say
- yell
- party
- raid (if applicable, else party)
- raid warning
- BattleGround (if applicable, else Local defense)
- guild
- guild officers
- General
- Trade
- Group search
ChatKeys offers others bindable keys:
- a key to start a message on 3 custom channels, defined with an settings panel (UI).
- a key to start an emote (/em).
- a key to whisper to a defined friend. This (girl/boy)friend's name can be defined with the UI.
- a key to whisper to your target, assuming your target is a friendly player.
Other features:
- Optionnaly displays party numbers on raid channel.
- Optionnaly plays a sound when receiving a whisp.
- Optionnaly simplifies or removes some annoying chat prefixes.
- Ability to define macros to start messages on desired channels - see supported slash-commands. See included ReadMe text file for more infos.

I can tolerate most of Bliz's default chat UI, but I'm finding out what a chore it is to type /g just to say hello to a guildie that signed then go back to /p after so much time with this addon.
Hopefully it can be fixed, but if not, I guess I have to look for another addon with similar keybinding/hotkey capabilities.
