The easy way to speed up typing - use HOTKEYS

[Davairus]

Time and tiredness can make the difference between life and death in a fight situation, whether that is with players or mobs. Especially over the short run, hotkeys can:

a) save you a lot of time
b) considerably reduce your typing load therefore you're less tired
c) leave your mind more free to think about the "big picture" i.e. what to do next

A hotkey is something you make with your mud client. When you make a hotkey, you program a button to send an entire command to the game in just one keystroke.

Example for ZMUD:

#key {m} {kill brownie}

Now you only have to press m, and the command is expanded and sent.

What would you like to be faster at typing?

[Jamus]

Really? I oughta try that sometime. I'm always drunk when I play AR...

Those aren't hotkeys. They're called aliases. Get your terminology straight.

[Trillian]

macros and aliases are both hotkeys

[Davairus]

Go back to FL dummy. haha

hotkey = executed when you press instead of requiring typing the thing in and enter it. hence the need to use #KEY

I wouldnt set a hotkey for 'm' though.

I'm a Mac user...

I use Rapscallion and love it. I think it's been discontinued, but the author has posted the source code. It's also missing some little extras, but I don't use them anyway. Hey, the input panel alone makes it beat the crap out of telnet.
