Slash Command
/beginchat string
Starts chat-entry mode with given string.
- String is the text you'd like to copy into the chat box.
- /beginchat will activate the chat box and paste "string" into the chat line with your cursor at the end.

show chat$$beginchat ;
- COMMA "," -

Binds loaded that also use /beginchat tend to take effect immediately after pressing the Enter key, whereas /bind_load_file alone often does not take effect until the character has moved to a new zone or after restarting the game client.
