Why do you need to enter commands without pressing the enter key?

Any command build into the client most likely won't work, as the client will examine what command was issued and decide what to send the server, if anything at all. It doesn't send it directly to the server like a /say message does.

I am not sure what good /cmd would be to you anyway, as I can only guess you are wanting to not need to hit the enter key to save yourself from having to press 1 more button when entering commands. If that isn't the case and all you care about is not needing the enter key for some random reason (I dunno, maybe your enter key is broken :P), then you can always type press ' for say and then the # command, like '#help. You could also do it the long way by typing "/say #help".

If all you are wanting is to save yourself the 1 extra keystroke, then just either buy a keyboard that can have hotkeys programmed into it and set one to do "/say #", so it works no matter what chat you are in, or you can probably download some free 3rd party hotkey app somewhere to do the same thing with your current keyboard and then just set it to something like \ or something.

' is a link to /say

[ and ; are chat channels. The client makes a seperate connection to the chat channel server that is completely seperate from the emulator server. Those commands are never seen by the emulator server

I think in this particular case, the best option for steve is quoted above. Most gaming keyboards even have special keys (and software) for making such macro strokes (mine has a ton of them), and if he doesn't have a keyboard that supports it, I am sure there is 3rd party software out there that can easily do it. I think it might even be built into some versions of windows under accessibility options or somewhere like that.

Maybe something like this would work:

AutoHotkey will absolutely work, as you can script it to do anything you'd like. I use it for many, many tasks that it isn't really required for. I'm just lazy.

However, the time it'd take you to write a proper script is less than the amount of time it'd take to do the extra strokes =P
