Changing Chat Channels easily in Champions Online

KEY BINDING TO MAKE CHAT CHANNEL CHANGING EASIER

If you are like me you probably have multiple chat channels setup in addition to the standard ones that you find in Champions Online (Zone, Local, Team, etc.).  Setting up custom channels can be their own minor problem but once they are setup the problem quickly becomes changing back and forth between the various chat channels to type.

To alleviate this stress I give you Chat Channel Key Binding!

Below you will find an example list of these binds:

/bind F7 “channel_setcurrent “custom-chat-channel-name-1″ ”
/bind F8 “channel_setcurrent “custom-chat-channel-name-2″ ”
/bind F9 “channel_setcurrent “Zone” ”
/bind F10 “channel_setcurrent “Team” ”
/bind F11 “channel_setcurrent “Local” ”
/bind F12 “channel_setcurrent “Super Group” ”

Simply input these one at a time through your regular chat window and then from that point on it is just a matter of hitting one button to change chat channels.

To make it easier to setup these same bindings to new alts on your account, simply type in /bind_save once you’ve set them up for one character, then when you change to another alt just type /bind_load to load all of your keyboard shortcuts including these to the new character. WARNING: If you have different binds for different characters do not use /bind_load. It may overwrite your unique binds on the character.

There you have it.  Time saved, stress relieved.. life is good.

Special Thanks to @peace for pointing this out to me in the first place!  You rock peace.
