  1. /w(hisper), /s(quad), /t(eam) and /a(ll) or l(ocal)
    /r is already implemented to change dm to the person who last DM'd you, it shouldn't be as hard to reuse part of that code to
    target a specific friend
    target squad (pink) chat
    target team (cyan) chat
    target all / local

  2. tab completion
    somewhat self explanatory (but since tab is already in use) a button to complete the command, cycles through commands based on how likely the user is to use them.
    example 1:
    /s [tab] -> /squad [tab] -> /shout [tab] -> /shout
    example 2:
    /a [tab] -> /all [tab] -> /allitems [tab] -> /admin [tab] -> /all
    tab is used as an example here as it's the default for this concept
    might be r

  3. invert chat cycle
    Ctrl + Tab should cycle chat tab backwards (currently, tab only takes it forwards)
    (or top button right side for consoles) when chat is open

Why Ctrl and not Shift? That's the default!
Steam's default overlay is Shift + Tab and that'd cause a keybind conflict making it highly impractical and tedious to use as you'd invoke steam's overlay every time you tried to cycle the chat backwards

  1. The ability to move the cursor backwards and highlight text in the chat box
    self explanatory so i dont think i need to explain much further
    this would be pretty difficult all things considered, i know it took minecraft until 1.21.4?(i think) to make this a thing. Would be nice but i dont expect anything for this.

Fr tho, why can't we have Minecraft-like to i.e. repick who we are replying to in DMs along with many others.

The UI for is incredibly either tedious or confusing.

/whisper /w or /d Name msg

Even for someone that don't have that many friends added -- it kinda made me feel kind of eh to even bother conversing if at all. Might as well use Discord at that point.

It's not like the already smol lobby chat is publicly open for that region either. Trying to start any convo is a personal hecc can of worms.
