Keymap able to send text to other instances?

Hey Y'all,

I have been trying to figure out a way to send a string to another instance of EQ1. A string like "/assist", "/doability", or "/target". So far I have only been able to find information on pasting strings, and I don't believe EQ1 supports pasting into the client.

Any ideas how I could send say "/target blahblahblah" to another instance? My original thought was to setup a ButtonBar with a Button with a KeyMap to send to my other boxed instance of EQ1, but I don't think that is going to work.

Thanks for your time.

You cannot rely on a Mapped Key to enter chat commands for you. Even if you could have it type chat commands, it would take more than one frame for it to type, making it slow. It would also be unreliable.

Find a way to do what you're trying to do with the game's macro/hotkey system.

For example... for assist/follow from any window in EQ1, see Common modifications: The game's Key Bindings
